Abstract excerpt
The expressional regulation of chicken alpha1 integrin in smooth muscle cells was studied. The alpha1 integrin mRNA was expressed developmentally and was distributed dominantly in vascular and visceral smooth muscles in chick embryos. In a primary culture of smooth muscle cells, alpha1 integrin e...
