Abstract:Nedd4‐1, a HECT type ubiquitin ligase, has been proposed to be involved in the regulation of type 1 insulin‐like growth factor receptor (IFG‐1R) from in vitro data. Mice with Nedd4‐1 disrupted were generated in this study. At birth, the body weight of −/− mice was about 1/3 of that of +/+ littermates and they died right after birth. Immature or delayed development was seen throughout, consistent with the notion that the IGF‐1R pathway is inhibited. Mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) isolated from Nedd4‐1 −/− e… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
