Abstract excerpt
Btg2 is a primary p53 transcriptional target gene which may function as a coactivator-corepressor and/or an adaptor molecule that modulates the activities of its interacting proteins. We have generated Btg2-null mice to elucidate the in vivo function of Btg2. Btg2-null mice are viable and fertile but exhibit posterior homeotic transformations of the axial vertebrae in a dose-dependent manner. Consistent with its...
