Title: Spermidine Synthase Localization in Retinal Layers: Early Age Changes.
The neuropil labelling in the patch compartment and in adjacent putative interneurones may indicate a role for polyamines in intercompartmental signalling in the striatum.
Title: Spermidine synthase is prominently expressed in the striatal patch compartment and in putative interneurones of the matrix compartment.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
