Abstract excerpt
Planar cell polarity (PCP) genes are essential for establishing planar cell polarity in both invertebrate and vertebrate tissues and are known to regulate cellular morphogenesis and cell movements during development. We focused on Prickle, one of the core components of the PCP pathway, and deleted one of two mouse prickle homologous genes, mpk1. We found that the deletion of mpk1 gene resulted in early embryonic...
