Chromosomal localization of the mouse gene coding for the 68 kDa neurofilament subunit.

abstract：BACKGROUND INFORMATION:Caspases are cysteine proteases that mediate apoptosis (programmed cell death) initiation and execution. Apoptosis is a conserved mechanism shared by all metazoans, although its physiological function and complexity show considerable taxon-dependent variations. To gain insight into the caspase re...
