High impact information on IVL

A large portion of the consensus sequence of four mammalian involucrin genes comprises four pairs of complementary oligonucleotides [1].
Mapping of the porcine involucrin (IVL) gene to chromosome 4 by fluorescence in situ hybridization [2].
The older cultures expressed differentiation markers, K4, K13 and involucrin, thereby resembling sulcular epithelium [3].
The results demonstrated that lithium was able to induce a squamous morphology of the cells, and to enhance the expression of involucrin and small proline-rich protein mRNA [4].
