Abstract excerpt
Epithelial protein lost in neoplasm (EPLIN) is a cytoskeleton-associated protein that is down-regulated in transformed cells. Two EPLIN isoforms (alpha and beta) are generated by alternative promoter usage from a single gene. In pigs EPLIN was preferentially expressed in the muscle of splay-legged piglets, but not in the healthy ones, suggesting that it plays an important role in muscle development. A precise...
