Abstract excerpt
Gene targeting provides a direct method for introducing mutations into specific mouse loci. This approach has been used productively to demonstrate that insulin-like growth factor (IGF) peptides and receptors are required for normal prenatal growth. Six genes comprising a third major component of the IGF system, the IGF-binding proteins (IGFBPs), are all expressed during prenatal rodent development. One of these...
