Abstract excerpt
Studies have shown that the TOM1 family of proteins, including TOM1 and TOM1L1, are actively involved in endosomal trafficking and function in the immune response. However, much less is known about the function of TOM1L2. To understand the biological importance of TOM1L2 and the potential significance of its cellular role, we created and evaluated Tom1l2 gene-trapped mice with reduced Tom1l2 expression. Mice...
