Abstract excerpt
LEC mutant rats exhibit an abnormal hepatic copper accumulation, due to the defection of the rat homologue of the Wilson's disease gene. In this study, we found a definitive evidence that the rat Wilson's disease gene of LEC rats was partially deleted at the 3' end of its protein-coding region, by performing Southern blot analysis. Furthermore, in Northern blot analysis, we confirmed that expression of the rat...
