Abstract excerpt
The transcriptional regulator Cux1 (CDP, Cutl1) is aberrantly expressed in mouse models for polycystic kidney disease. Here we show that p75-Cux1, the shortest isoform of Cux1, transcribed from an alternative promoter within intron 20, is also deregulated in polycystic kidneys derived from Pkd1 mutant embryos. To determine the role of the p75-Cux1 isoform in cystogenesis, we generated transgenic mice expressing...
