KNG1 and Hepatic fibrosis: Analysis by correlation showed a strong relationship of the Bdrkb2 gene with the myofibroblast activation markers and the fibrotic area in the early and progressive stages of liver fibrosis, thereby strengthening the relationship of the Kng1 gene to liver fibrosis and conferring a possible similar pattern of regulation of the Bdkrb2 and Kng1 genes (Figure 8G; Supplementary Figures 3A–D, 4A–D).
