Abstract excerpt
The rabbit H-blood type alpha1,2-fucosyltransferase (RFT-I), gene and its biosynthetic products, H antigens (Fucalpha1,2Galbeta), are abundantly expressed in a subset of dorsal root ganglia (DRG) neurons. To investigate the regulatory mechanisms for the RFT-I gene expression, we determined the ge...
