Plunc, a Member of the Secretory Gland Protein Family, Is Up-regulated in Nasal Respiratory Epithelium after Olfactory Bulbectomy
1 Apr 2002
Abstract excerpt
Subtraction suppression hybridization was used with high throughput screening to identify transcripts of genes that are differentially expressed in nasal epithelium following lesioning of the olfactory bulb, termed bulbectomy. We isolated the rat homologue of plunc, a murine gene highly expressed in lung and nasopharyngeal regions, by this method. Rat plunc encodes a 270-amino acid protein containing a putative...
