Role of phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase alpha in lung development.

Molecular and cellular biology - 1 Feb 2007

Tian Yong, Zhou Ruobing, Rehg Jerold E, Jackowski Suzanne

Abstract excerpt

Lung development depends upon the differentiation and expansion of a variety of specialized epithelial cell types, including distal type I and type II pneumocytes in the late term. Previous studies have shown a strict dependence on the choline cytidylyltransferase alpha isoform (CCTalpha) to mediate membrane phospholipid formation in cultured cells and during preimplantation embryogenesis. CCTalpha expression is...
