Abstract excerpt
We have evaluated the importance of the CREB family of transcriptional activators for endochondral bone formation by expressing a potent dominant negative CREB inhibitor (A-CREB) in growth plate chondrocytes of transgenic mice. A-CREB transgenic mice exhibited short-limbed dwarfism and died minutes after birth, apparently due to respiratory failure from a diminished rib cage circumference. Consistent with the...
