Abstract excerpt
Src family kinases (SFKs) have been implicated in the regulation of cell motility. To verify their in vivo roles during development, we generated mutant mice in which Csk, a negative regulator of SFKs, was inactivated in neural crest lineages using the Protein zero promoter in a Cre-loxP system. Inactivation of Csk caused deformities in various tissues of neural crest origins, including facial dysplasia and...
