Answers.Body: <p>There's not going to be a specific database that's particularly thorough for this. The best you can do is one of the following:</p>
  <ol>
  <li>Search through TAIR (<a href="https://www.arabidopsis.org/servlets/Search?action=new_search&amp;type=protein" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.arabidopsis.org/servlets/Search?action=new_search&amp;type=protein</a>)</li>
  <li>Blast SRA with the full length sequence ( <a href="https://blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Blast.cgi?PROGRAM=blastn&amp;BLAST_PROGRAMS=megaBlast&amp;PAGE_TYPE=BlastSearch&amp;BLAST_SPEC=SRA&amp;SHOW_DEFAULTS=on" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Blast.cgi?PROGRAM=blastn&amp;BLAST_PROGRAMS=megaBlast&amp;PAGE_TYPE=BlastSearch&amp;BLAST_SPEC=SRA&amp;SHOW_DEFAULTS=on</a>). This will unfortunately pull up a LOT of related hits for every other related isoform.</li>
  <li>Download some public RNA-seq data from SRA/ENA and see if it has supporting data.</li>
  </ol>
  <p>You're probably best off doing all of these, where you use blast to find relevant datasets that you then align. My guess is that TAIR won't have everything, since this has probably been seen before but not reported since the experiment wasn't intending to find new proteins.</p>

  There's not going to be a specific database that's particularly thorough for this. The best you can do is one of the following:
  
  1. Search through TAIR (<https://www.arabidopsis.org/servlets/Search?action=new_search&type=protein>)
  2. Blast SRA with the full length sequence ( <https://blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Blast.cgi?PROGRAM=blastn&BLAST_PROGRAMS=megaBlast&PAGE_TYPE=BlastSearch&BLAST_SPEC=SRA&SHOW_DEFAULTS=on>). This will unfortunately pull up a LOT of related hits for every other related isoform.
  3. Download some public RNA-seq data from SRA/ENA and see if it has supporting data.
  
  You're probably best off doing all of these, where you use blast to find relevant datasets that you then align. My guess is that TAIR won't have everything, since this has probably been seen before but not reported since the experiment wasn't intending to find new proteins.
