Abstract excerpt
Hepatocytes of the periportal and perivenous zones of the liver lobule differ in their levels and activities of various enzymes and other proteins. We have recently suggested that beta-catenin- and Ras-dependent signaling pathways play an important role in the regulation of perivenous and periportal gene expression profiles. This hypothesis was primarily based on similarities in zonal differences in gene...
