Evolution of the gene families forming the Pax/Six regulatory network: isolation of genes from primitive animals and molecular phylogenetic analyses.

abstract：:The cellular uptake of a model antisense oligonucleotide complementary to 21 bases of the bovine GLUT-1 glucose transporter mRNA and a model vasopressin peptide that were biotinylated, was markedly stimulated by the presence of avidin, a cationic protein. Conversely, the bacteria homologue of avidin, streptavidin, whi...
