Abstract excerpt
The role of Arp3 in mouse development was investigated utilizing a gene trap mutation in the Arp3 gene. Heterozygous Arp3(WT/GT) mice are normal, however, homozygous Arp3(GT/GT) embryos die at blastocyst stage. Earlier embryonic stages appear unaffected by the mutation, probably due to maternal Arp3 protein. Mutant blastocysts isolated at E3.5 fail to continue development in vitro, lack outgrowth of...
