Abstract excerpt
MEKK2 is a member of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) kinase kinase gene family involved in regulating multiple MAPK signaling pathways. To elucidate the in vivo function of MEKK2, we generated mice carrying a targeted mutation in the Mekk2 locus. Mekk2(-/-) mice are viable and fertile. Major subsets of thymic and spleen T cells in Mekk2-deficient mice were indistinguishable from those in wild-type...
