Abstract excerpt
Guanylin is a pro-secretory hormone that is expressed in intestinal epithelia. Previously, we mapped the guanylin gene to mouse and human chromosomal regions containing multiple intestinal tumor-modifying loci. Here, we investigate whether guanylin expression is downregulated in precancerous human and mouse intestinal adenomas and whether diminished guanylin expression increases adenoma susceptibility in an...
