Abstract
Tuftelin was initially found in the developing and mature extracellular enamel. Here we describe our novel discovery of tuftelin cellular distribution (protein and mRNA) in six soft tissues. The expression levels of tuftelin mRNA were significantly higher in mouse kidney and testis, in which oxygen levels are hovering closely to hypoxia under normal conditions. Anat Rec, 2007.Keywords
