Parafibromin, a Component of the Human PAF Complex, Regulates Growth Factors and Is Required for Embryonic Development and Survival in Adult Mice
22 Jan 2008
Abstract excerpt
Parafibromin, a transcription factor associated with the PAF complex, is encoded by the HRPT2 gene, mutations of which cause the hyperparathyroidism-jaw tumor syndrome (OMIM145001). To elucidate the function of parafibromin, we generated conventional and conditional Hrpt2 knockout mice and found that Hrpt2(-/-) mice were embryonic lethal by embryonic day 6.5 (E6.5). Controlled deletion of Hrpt2 after E8.5...
