Abstract excerpt
The Arf tumor suppressor represents one of several genes encoded at the Cdkn2a and Cdkn2b loci in the mouse. Beyond its role blunting the growth of incipient cancer cells, the Arf gene also plays an essential role in development: its gene product, p19(Arf), is induced by Tgfβ2 in the developing eye to dampen proliferative signals from Pdgfrβ, which effect ultimately fosters the vascular remodeling required for...
