High impact information on vit-1

  • The first consists of two polypeptides with an Mr of about 170,000 (yp170A and yp170B) encoded by a family of five closely related genes called vit-1 through vit-5 [1].
  • After progesterone treatment (10(-7) M), the vit-5 and vit-6 were down-regulated and vit-1 up-regulated (3.59-fold) [2].
