ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
knockout studies including MAPK1 revealed some
  • associations with abnormal placental development, leading
  • to intrauterine growth restriction and intrauterine
    death of null mice
  • disrupted Mapk1/mapk3 in mouse granulosa cells provide in vivo evidence that these kinases are necessary for LH-induced oocyte resumption of meiosis, ovulation, and luteinization
  • double knock-out newborn pups for Erk1 and Erk2 survived for not more one day, appeared normal just after parturition, displayed intracerebral hemorrhages with varying location and severity, ventricular zones and corpus callosum did not develop properly and nuclear morphology in some brain regions were markedly aberrant (
  • double knock-out mice deficient for Erk2 in the central nervous system, with ubiquitous homozygous deletion of Erk1 were neonatally lethal (
