Abstract excerpt
During embryonic development, Igf2 gene transcription is highly regulated through the use of several promoters whose specific roles are not defined. Here, we show that loss-of-function of one of these promoters, Igf2-P2, results in growth defects that are temporally and quantitatively different from those seen in Igf2-null mutants. In particular, Igf2-P2 mutants exhibit skeletal abnormalities characterized by...
