Abstract excerpt
Tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factors (TRAFs) are adaptor proteins important in mediating intracellular signaling. We report here that targeted deletion of traf6 greatly increases the frequency of failure of neural tube closure and exencephaly in traf6 (-/-) mice. The penetrance of this defect is influenced by genetic background. Neural tube fusion requires the coordination of several biological...
