Regulation of TGF-β signalling by Fbxo11, the gene mutated in the Jeff otitis media mouse mutant
6 Jul 2009
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Jeff is a dominant mouse mutant displaying chronic otitis media. The gene underlying Jeff is Fbxo11, a member of the large F-box family, which are specificity factors for the SCF E3 ubiquitin ligase complex. Jeff homozygotes die shortly after birth displaying a number of developmental abnormalities including cleft palate and eyes open at birth. TGF-beta signalling is involved in a number of epithelial...
