Abstract excerpt
alf/hsdr-1 is a locus in the mouse defined by albino deletions to be essential for neonatal viability. Homozygous deletion of alf/hsdr-1 leads to a pleiotropic phenotype in liver and kidney, including impaired perinatal activation of hormone-dependent genes, and the induction of detoxifying enzymes and early-response genes. To elucidate the molecular basis of this complex phenotype, we have identified the gene...
