mortality/aging
• all mice that survive until birth die within 48 hours
|
• about 25% of mice die between E13.5 and E14.5 and another 25% die between E16.5 and E19.5
|
respiratory system
• pups isolated at E19.5 fail to inflate their lungs despite visible breathing efforts
|
cellular
• MEFs proliferate slower and produce smaller colonies
• Cre mediated recombination of the floxed allele produced a decrease in colony number and size and stopped proliferation by blocking cytokinesis
