High impact information on Acvrl1

  • Seven cationic, cystine-rich peptides of 29 to 32 amino acid residues have been purified from extracts of rat bone marrow (R-1, R-1a, R-1b, R-2, R-3, R-4 and R-5) [1].
  • The R-3 transcripts are also found in splenic macrophages, as well as within cells of marginal zone of the splenic lymphoid tissue [2].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Acvrl1

  • Northern blot analysis reveals that the R-3 mRNA is more abundant in lung than in other adult rat tissues [2].
