Abstract excerpt
During eye development, retinal pigmented epithelium (RPE) and neural retina (NR) arise from a common origin, the optic vesicle. One of the early distinctions of RPE from NR is the reduced mitotic activity of the RPE. Growth arrest specific gene 1 (Gas1) has been documented to inhibit cell cycle progression in vitro (G. Del Sal et al., 1992, Cell 70, 595--607). We show here that the expression pattern of Gas1 in...
