- Abstract
The article assesses the expression of Epiplakin1 (Eppk1) gene in the developing and adult mouse retina using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis, immunoblot analysis and immunohistochemical analysis. Findings revealed the expression of Eppk1 in nestin-positive neural progenitor cells in the developing embryonic retina, as well as in the retinal ganglion cells, bipolar cells and Müller glial cells of adult mice. The study suggests the potential involvement of Eppk1 in retinal development.
