Mek1 Mek2 double mutation effect on the embryonic brain dorsal cortex
Summary:
Analysis of brain dorsal cortices of E18.5 embryos deleted for Mek1 and Mek2, dual specificity kinases. Mek1 and Mek2 are components of the RAF/MEK/ERK singaling pathway. Results provide insight into the role of Mek1 and Mek2 in gliogenesis.
