GOLM1 and Hepatic fibrosis: In previous studies, we have found that GP73 is positively expressed in both acute and chronic hepatitis, and the expression level is positively correlated with the severity of the disease.[19] In Iftikhar study, GP73 was found to be actively expressed in activated stellate cells and was positively correlated with the degree of liver fibrosis.[20] This is similar to the results of this study.
