Abstract excerpt
Among the expressed genes associated with the switch-over of Dictyostelium cells from cell proliferation to differentiation, the Calfumirin-1 (CAF1) gene has been shown to be preferentially expressed at the initial step of differentiation, encoding a novel Ca2+-binding protein (Abe & Maeda 1995)....
