Abstract excerpt
The repeated epilation (Er) mutation is an autosomal defect that blocks differentiation in stratified epithelia and appendages in mice. Plasma retinol binding protein (RBP) was tested as a possible candidate gene for the Er defect because of the importance of retinol as a modulator of epithelial...
