Abstract excerpt
Arf is a key mammalian tumor suppressor gene known to be activated in response to aberrant mitogenic signals leading to both p53-dependent and -independent effects. We recently uncovered a new and somewhat unexpected function for mouse Arf as a regulator of mural cell accumulation within an ocular vascular bed destined to regress in the postnatal period. We found that the Arf gene product, p19(Arf), blocks mural...
