Chromosomal localization of the retinol binding protein gene and its elimination as a candidate gene for the repeated epilation (Er) mutation in mice.

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 morphogenesis and differentiation. Two approaches were used: (1) cloning and sequencing of the RBP cDNA from normal and...
