Abstract excerpt
The dual Ser/Thr kinase MKK4 and its downstream targets JNK and p38 regulate critical cellular functions during embryogenesis and development. MKK4 has been identified as a putative tumor-suppressor gene in human solid tumors of breast, prostate and pancreas. To clarify the mechanisms underlying the transforming potential of molecular defects targeting MKK4, we have generated totipotent embryonic stem (ES) cells...
