title: Developmental and tissue-specific expression of rat T-kininogen.
abstract: The ontogeny of T-Kininogen expression in the rat liver was examined. Levels approximately 6 fold higher than seen in the adult liver are present during the perinatal period. Elevated levels are also seen in the maternal liver, beginning 5 days prior to parturition. The timing of induction in the fetal and maternal liver is distinct, suggesting independent regulation. While T-Kininogen mRNA is mainly synthesized in the liver, low but significant expression is seen in other tissues, including lung and kidney.
