Common origin and developmental dependence on c-ret of subsets of enteric and sympathetic neuroblasts.

Abstract excerpt

c-ret encodes a tyrosine kinase receptor that is necessary for normal development of the mammalian enteric nervous system. Germline mutations in c-ret lead to congenital megacolon in humans, while a loss-of-function allele (ret.k-) causes intestinal aganglionosis in mice. Here we examine in detai...
