Abstract excerpt
Janus kinases (Jak) play essential roles in cytokine and growth factor signaling. Conventional gene targeting of Jak2, creating a null allele, leads to a block in definitive erythropoiesis as a result of failing signal transduction at the homomeric erythropoietin receptor (EpoR) and at the heteromeric interferon γ receptor (IFNGR). To investigate the in vivo relevance of the activation loop of Jak2, a...
