Abstract excerpt
Various intracellular or intercellular stimuli have been associated with the development of cardiac cell hypertrophy. However, the mechanisms underlying this association are not completely understood. In a previous study we determined that ZAK mRNA expression is abundant in heart. ZAK is a mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase (MAP3K) that activates the stress-activated protein kinase/c-jun N-terminal...
