Data shown are the expression levels of a given gene relative to that of Slc4a11 or Slc4a4. P values indicate the significance between the normalized expression of given gene and normalized expression of the calibrator gene (Slc4a11 or Slc4a4) from three independent experiments and in this experimental context indicate the reproducibility of relative expression data. The asterisks indicate statistical significance at p < 0.05.
