High impact information on Expi

Extracellular proteinase inhibitor-accelerated apoptosis is associated with B cell activating factor in mammary epithelial cells [1].
We developed the stable cell lines overexpressing Expi gene and found that overexpression of Expi accelerated apoptosis of mammary epithelial cells under serum starvation [1].
Transient transfection of Expi gene partially induced apoptosis of mammary epithelial HC11 cells [1].
To understand apoptosis pathway involved in the Expi overexpression, we examined the gene expression profile by using apoptosis gene array containing 243 genes [1].

Anatomical context of Expi

The expression of extracellular proteinase inhibitor (Expi) gene was induced during the involution of mammary gland, when apoptosis occurs in this tissue [1].
