abstract：:Anamorsin (AM) (also called CIAPIN-1) is a cell-death-defying factor. AM deficient mice die during late gestation; AM deficient embryos are anemic and very small compared to wild type (WT) embryos. It is thought that AM plays crucial roles in hematopoiesis and embryogenesis. To clarify the mechanisms of AM functions, ...
