Abstract excerpt
Silver plumage color mutant (B/B) quail has an abnormal retina characterizing the transdifferentiation of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) following the retinal separation in the early developmental stage. In the present study; (i) the expression of gicerin, an immunoglobulin-superfamily cell adhesion molecule, was examined in the retina of B/B quail. In the wild-type quail, gicerin protein was enriched in the...
