From: Identification of uterine ion transporters for mineralisation precursors of the avian eggshell
Relative expression of genes coding ion transporters in chicken uterus compared to magnum or duodenum. Gene expression of ion transporters for eggshell mineralisation were quantitatively evaluated by qRT-PCR in the uterus (eggshell formation) and compared to those of magnum and duodenum where Ca2+ and HCO3- trans-epithelial transport are at low and high levels, respectively.
