Expression and function of methylthioadenosine phosphorylase in chronic liver disease.
<h4>Unlabelled</h4>To study expression and function of methylthioadenosine phosphorylase (MTAP), the rate-limiting enzyme in the methionine and adenine salvage pathway, in chronic liver disease.<h4>Design</h4>MTAP expression was analyzed by qRT-PCR, Western blot and immunohis...
