Table 3. Bves expression in epithelial cell types in vertebrates.

Expression data are reported as interpreted by published literature. Sources are numbered in order of publication date. Corresponding numbers are used to indicate expression findings in chart form based on technique. A consensus of expression is presented as positive, negative or both, in the case where conflicting reports exist. Reference numbers with a strikethrough indicate that expression was analyzed in the noted report and not observed. A question mark indicates that the expression has not been tested and/or determined. Species are abbreviated as C (chick), M (mouse), H (human), X (frog). Not applicable (n/a).
