Figure 2. The expression of Ampd1 in different tissues and the validation of Ampd1 disruption.
(a,b) The expression of Ampd1 in different tissues. Ampd1 was predominantly expressed in the muscle as determined with real-time PCR (a) and Western blot (b) in E18.5 WT mice. (c,d) The validation of Ampd1 disruption. Ampd1 mRNA (as compared with WT, ****P < 0.0001; **P < 0.001, One-way ANNOVA followed with Bonferroni’s multiple comparisons test) and protein (d) were undetectable in the hind-leg muscle of E18.5 Ampd1tm1a/tm1a mice. Relative mRNA level was normalized to β-actin.
