Abstract excerpt
The expression of splice variants of FGF receptors, which differ in the third Ig domain, was investigated in retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells in vitro and in vivo. This region of the protein determines ligand-binding specificity. Additionally, the expression of potential ligands for these receptors was investigated. Expression of FGF receptor transcript alternative splicing was analyzed by RT-PCR/Southern...
