Abstract excerpt
The spontaneous mouse waved 1 (wa1) mutation is allelic with the transforming growth factor alpha (TGF-alpha) gene and produces phenotypes similar to those of TGF-alpha knockout mice. Here, we show that TGF-alpha mRNA and protein levels are measurable in wa1 tissues but reduced 5- to 30-fold rela...
