Proteomics Analysis Revealed an Altered Left Ventricle Protein Profile in a Mouse Model of Transverse Aortic Constriction.

abstract：:Src is a non-receptor protein tyrosine kinase ubiquitously expressed in animals. It is involved in various cellular processes, including the innate immune response in mammals. However, less is known about the function of insect Src. Here we presented a homologue of Src in silkworm (Bombyx mori), named as BmSrc by phyl...
