Abstract excerpt
C/EBPalpha is highly expressed in liver and regulates many genes that are preferentially expressed in liver. Because C/EBPalpha-null mice die soon after birth, it is impossible to analyze the function of C/EBPalpha in the adult with this model. To address the function of C/EBPalpha in adult hepatocytes, liver-specific C/EBPalpha-null mice were produced using a floxed C/EBPalpha allele and the albumin-Cre...
