Mice deficient in the serine/threonine protein kinase VRK1 are infertile due to a progressive loss of spermatogonia.

Abstract excerpt

The VRK1 protein kinase has been implicated as a pro-proliferative factor. Genetic analyses of mutant alleles of the Drosophila and Caenorhabditis elegans VRK1 homologs have revealed phenotypes ranging from embryonic lethality to mitotic and meiotic defects with resultant sterility. Herein, we de...
