Identification of a series of transforming growth factor beta-responsive genes by retrovirus-mediated gene trap screening.

abstract：:Tight control of apoptosis is required for proper development and maintenance of homeostasis in multicellular organisms. Cells can protect themselves from potentially lethal stimuli by expressing antiapoptotic factors, such as inhibitors of apoptosis, FLICE (caspase 8)-inhibitory proteins, and members of the Bcl2 fami...
