The zebrafish progranulin gene family and antisense transcripts
Abstract Background Progranulin is an epithelial tissue growth factor (also known as proepithelin, acrogranin and PC-cell-derived growth factor) that has been implicated in development, wound healing and in the progression of many cancers.The single mammalian progranulin gene encodes a glycoprotein precursor consisting of seven and one half tandeml
