Overexpression of a Kinase-deficient Transforming Growth Factor-β Type II Receptor in Mouse Mammary Stroma Results in Increased Epithelial Branching
1 Apr 1999
Abstract excerpt
Members of the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) superfamily signal through heteromeric type I and type II serine/threonine kinase receptors. Transgenic mice that overexpress a dominant-negative mutation of the TGF-beta type II receptor (DNIIR) under the control of a metallothionein-derived promoter (MT-DNIIR) were used to determine the role of endogenous TGF-betas in the developing mammary gland. The...
