Abstract excerpt
Erk4 and Erk3 are atypical members of the mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase family. The high sequence identity of Erk4 and Erk3 proteins and the similar organization of their genes imply that the two protein kinases are paralogs. Recently, we have shown that Erk3 function is essential for neonatal survival and critical for the establishment of fetal growth potential and pulmonary function. To investigate the...
