      Samba, a Xenopus hnRNP expressed in neural and neural crest tissues 

      Yan, C. Y. I.; Skourides, Paris A.; Chang, Christopher C.; Brivanlou, A. (2009)
      RNA binding proteins regulate gene expression at the posttranscriptional level and play important roles in embryonic development. Here, we report the cloning and expression of Samba, a Xenopus hnRNP that is maternally ...
