Peg3 mutational effects on reproduction and placenta-specific gene families.

Peg3 mutational effects on reproduction and placenta-specific gene families.

Peg3 (paternally expressed gene 3) is an imprinted gene encoding a DNA-binding protein. This gene plays important roles in controlling fetal growth rates and nurturing behaviors. In the current study, a new mutant mouse model has been generated to further characterize the functions of this DNA-bindi...
