Abstract excerpt
Epithelial sheet movement is an essential morphogenetic process during mouse embryonic eyelid closure in which Mitogen-Activated Protein 3 Kinase 1 (MAP3K1) and c-Jun play a critical role. Here we show that MAP3K1 associates with the cytoskeleton, activates Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and actin polymerization, and promotes the eyelid inferior epithelial cell elongation and epithelium protrusion. Following...
