Reference: J:139954 Simmons DG, et al., Spatial and temporal expression of the 23 murine Prolactin/Placental Lactogen-related genes is not associated with their position in the locus. BMC Genomics. 2008;9:352
Assay type: RNA in situ
MGI Accession ID: MGI:3820700
Gene symbol: Prl4a1
Gene name: prolactin family 4, subfamily a, member 1
Probe: Prl4a1 cDNA1
Probe preparation: Antisense labelled with digoxigenin RNA
Visualized with: Alkaline phosphatase
Assay notes: There is a slight strain difference in expression as more CTGCs (canal trophoblast giant cell) appear to be expressing Prl4a1 in C57BL/6 and 129svJ backgrounds than in the CD-1 background.
