Figure 1. Expression of Melanocortin Receptors in Enteroendocrine Cells.

Figure 1

Scattergrams exhibiting qPCR expression of the five melanocortin receptors (annotated green dots) among 379 7TM receptors (grey plus green dots) examined in FACS-purified cells from the proximal small intestine from transgenic (A) CCK-eGFP, (B) GIP-Venus, and (C) GLP-1-Venus reporter mice (X-axis) versus expression in non-fluorescent mucosal cells (Y-axis). The 45°-angled lines indicate the enrichment of expression in the fluorescent FACS-purified enteroendocrine cells versus the neighboring enterocytes. The grey shaded area in each of the scattergrams is considered as noise level.
