Northern blot analyses of human and mouse ART gene expression. Northern blots with mouse and human RNAs were hybridized with radiolabeled ART-specific probes, and bound activity was visualized by autoradiography. Thick and thin bars indicate the migration positions of 2.4kb and 1.35kb marker fragments, respectively. Mouse RNAs were from heart: lane 1; brain: 2; spleen: 3; lung: 4; liver: 5; skeletal muscle: 6; kidney: 7; and testis: 8. Human RNAs for ART1 and ART2 were from heart: lane 9; brain: 10; placenta: 11; lung: 12; liver: 13; skeletal muscle: 14; kidney: 15; and pancreas: 16; for ART3 and ART5, pancreas: lane 9; adrenal medulla: 10; thyroid: 11; adrenal cortex: 12; testis: 13; thymus: 14; small intestine: 15; and stomach: 16; and for ART4, spleen: lane 9; lymph node: 10; thymus: 11; appendix: 12; peripheral blood leukocytes: 13; bone marrow: 14; and fetal liver: 15.
