Mice Deficient for the Wild-Type p53-Induced Phosphatase Gene (<i>Wip1</i>) Exhibit Defects in Reproductive Organs, Immune Function, and Cell Cycle Control
1 Feb 2002
Abstract excerpt
The Wip1 gene is a serine/threonine phosphatase that is induced in a p53-dependent manner by DNA-damaging agents. We show here that Wip1 message is expressed in moderate levels in all organs, but is present at very high levels in the testes, particularly in the postmeiotic round spermatid compartment of the seminiferous tubules. We have confirmed that Wip1 mRNA is induced by ionizing radiation in mouse tissues in...
