Abstract excerpt
Mannose 6-phosphate receptor deficient mice were generated by crossing mice carrying null alleles for Igf2 and the 300 kDa and 46 kDa mannose 6-phosphate receptors, Mpr300 and Mpr46. Pre- and perinatal lethality of mice nullizygous for Igf2, Mpr300 and Mpr46 was increased. Triple deficient mice surviving the first postnatal day had normal viability and developed a phenotype resembling human I-cell disease. The...
