Abstract excerpt
The PIT1/SLC20A1 protein, a well-described sodium/phosphate cotransporter and retrovirus receptor, has been identified recently as a modular of proliferation and apoptosis in vitro. The targeted deletion of the PIT1 gene in mice revealed a lethal phenotype due to severe anemia attributed to defects in liver development. However, the presence of immature erythroid cells associated with impaired maturation of the...
