Journal ArticleDOI

Mice without a functional relaxin gene are unable to deliver milk to their pups.

TL;DR: The majority (15 of 17) of homozygous (rlx-/-) mice are fertile and produce normal litters, however their mammary development is deficient; pups are unable to suckle and die within 24 h of birth unless cross-fostered to a wild-type (RLx+/+) foster mother.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sez-6 proteins affect dendritic arborization patterns and excitability of cortical pyramidal neurons.

TL;DR: Cell-surface protein complexes involving Sez-6 help to sculpt the dendritic arbor, in turn enhancing synaptic connectivity, and showing specific exploratory, motor, and cognitive deficits.
Journal ArticleDOI

Initial Characterization of PTH-Related Protein Gene-Driven lacZ Expression in the Mouse†

TL;DR: A PTHrP‐lacZ knockin mouse is reported in which β‐gal activity seems to provide a simple and sensitive read‐out of P THrP gene expression.
Journal ArticleDOI

α-Inhibin Gene Expression Occurs in the Ovine Adrenal Cortex, and is Regulated by Adrenocorticotropin

TL;DR: Dot blot analysis showed that the level of alpha mRNA within the adrenal is influenced by ACTH, one of the major regulators of adrenal cortex function, implying that there are inhibin-related peptides not directly associated with the gonads.
