Disease relevance of Abca5

 

High impact information on Abca5

  • Up-regulation of Abca5 mRNA expression during culture of primary rat hepatocytes suggests that hepatocyte cultures should provide a basis for investigation of Abca5 gene regulation and elucidation of Abca5 function [2].
  • Northern blot analyses revealed expression of ABCA5 or Abca5 mRNA in several tissues, but particularly high Abca5 mRNA expression was observed in rat testis [2].
