Abstract excerpt
The FE65 gene encodes a nuclear protein of unknown function that is expressed in several areas of the rat nervous system during development and in the adult animal, particularly in somatic and visceral ganglia. FE65 mRNA is abundant in neuronal cell lines, whereas it is barely detectable in non-n...
