Gene expression in pylorus stomach tissue in Bapx1 (Nkx3.2) deficient mice

Bapx1 (Nkx3.2) is an important factor for GI development. We document a morphologic change in the pylorus segment of the GI tract in Bapx1 deficient mice and we have used microarray analyses to assess gene exprofiles in the pylorus stomach region in knockout compared to wildtype littermates. Keywords: Genetic modified mice deficient in Bapx1 expression RNA from 3 Bapx1 knockout animals and 3 control wildtype littermates were analyzed.
