Abstract excerpt
The Pea3 Ets transcription factor is overexpressed in breast tumors suggesting that it plays a role in mammary oncogenesis. However, the normal biological function of Pea3 in the mammary gland is not known. Here we report that Pea3 was expressed in the epithelium of the mouse mammary anlagen commensurate with their genesis, and at later times in the nipple and mammary ducts of female embryos. In adult mice Pea3...
