Figure 1. Nischarin is highly expressed in the brain of adult rats.

Figure 1

(A) Total mRNA extracted from heart, lung, liver, kidney, stomach, small intestine, brain and spinal cord of adult rats was assayed by quantitative real-time PCR (n = 5). Relative quantification was assessed by normalizing the amount of Nischarin to the housekeeping gene GAPDH. (B, C) Protein samples from different tissues were analyzed by Western blot and the quantitative analysis was performed by normalizing the intensities of the hybridization signals to GAPDH (n = 5). Nischarin is highly expressed in liver, brain and spinal cord at both the mRNA and protein levels. Data are presented as mean ± SD.
