Independent roles of Fgfr2 and Frs2α in ureteric epithelium
25 Feb 2011
Abstract excerpt
Mice with conditional deletion of fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (Fgfr2) in the ureteric bud using a Hoxb7cre line (Fgfr2(UB-/-)) develop severe ureteric branching defects; however, ureteric deletion of fibroblast growth factor receptor substrate 2α (Frs2α), a key docking protein that transmits fibroblast growth factor receptor intracellular signaling (Frs2α(UB-/-)) leads to mild ureteric defects. Mice with...
