Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The pygopus gene of Drosophila encodes an essential component of the Armadillo (beta-catenin) transcription factor complex of canonical Wnt signaling. To better understand the functions of Pygopus-mediated canonical Wnt signaling in kidney development, targeted mutations were made in the two mammalian orthologs, Pygo1 and Pygo2. RESULTS: Each mutation deleted >80% of the coding sequence, including the...
