It is expressed in multiple tissues with the highest expression in heart and skeletal muscle. The intergenic region of this gene and the MYB gene has been identified to be a quantitative trait locus (QTL) controlling fetal hemoglobin level, and this region influnces erythrocyte, platelet, and ...
TSPO expression and retinal inflammation were analyzed by immunofluorescence, Western blot and real-time qPCR. In the retina of T2D (db/db) mice, FGF1 was significantly down-regulated while FGFR1 was up-regulated (both p < 0.05). TSPO and retinal inflammatory factors were all up-regulated. ...
