Abstract excerpt

Ke 6 is a 17beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase that is expressed in several somatic tissues as well as the female reproductive tissues. We previously correlated a dramatic reduction in the expression of the Ke 6 gene with the development of recessive polycystic kidney disease, in three murine models, the cpk, jck and pcy mice. We also determined that in one of the murine models, the cpk mouse, the female...
