Loss of MYO5B in Mice Recapitulates Microvillus Inclusion Disease and Reveals an Apical Trafficking Pathway Distinct to Neonatal Duodenum
15 Dec 2015
Abstract excerpt
Background & Aims Inactivating mutations in myosin Vb (MYO5B) cause severe neonatal diarrhea in microvillus inclusion disease. Loss of active MYO5B causes the formation of pathognomonic inclusions and aberrations in brush-border enzymes. Methods We developed 3 mouse models of germline, constitutively intestinal targeted, and inducible intestinal targeted deletion of MYO5B. The mice were evaluated for enterocyte...
