Abstract excerpt
Signaling by the parathyroid hormone/parathyroid hormone-related protein receptor (Ppr) is necessary for mammary gland development beyond the early induction stage in mice. We used a series of murine models of reduced Ppr expression to determine how diminished receptor signaling influences mammary development. Reduction of Ppr expression to very low levels prevented mammary gland development. A less-severe...
