Reference: J:14524 Clauss IM, et al., In situ hybridization studies suggest a role for the basic region-leucine zipper protein hXBP-1 in exocrine gland and skeletal development during mouse embryogenesis. Dev Dyn. 1993 Jun;197(2):146-56
Assay type: RNA in situ
MGI Accession ID: MGI:5816635
Gene symbol: Xbp1
Gene name: X-box binding protein 1
Probe: hXBP-1 probe1
Probe preparation: Antisense labelled with S35 RNA
