Abstract excerpt
Oncogenic signals elevate expression of Id2 in multiple tumor types. When deregulated, Id2 inactivates the tumor suppressor proteins retinoblastoma, p107, and p130. Here, we report a novel and unexpected tumor inhibitory function of Id2 in the intestinal epithelium. First, genetic ablation of Id2 in the mouse prevents differentiation and cell cycle arrest of enterocytes at the time of formation of the...
