Gastrokine 1 is abundantly and specifically expressed in superficial gastric epithelium, down‐regulated in gastric carcinoma, and shows high evolutionary conservation
21 Jun 2004
Abstract excerpt
Through previous large-scale gene expression profiling we identified a transcript that was abundant in normal stomach and down-regulated in gastric cancer. Genes expressed at similar levels included gastrin, MUC5 and pS2, which are important in gastric function. We aimed to characterise this candidate, gastrokine 1 (GKN1), at mRNA, DNA, protein and tissue levels. The gene was studied in human, mouse, rat and cow,...
