Draft:Acceptor splice region

An acceptor splice region or acceptor splice site, also known as 3' splice site, is the downstream part of an intron, found at its 3' end.[1][2] The spliced site usually conserves the consensus dinucleotide AG.[2] This region, along with the donor site (5' end of the intron)[3] and branch site (near the 3' end of the intron), is essential for the accurate RNA splicing, to allow accurate removal of its corresponding intron from the RNA transcript. An acceptor splice region spans, on average, 28 bases.[3][1]
