SAMPLE ABSTRACT
Mouse Model of PRKAR1A Down-Regulation
Description of Invention: The invention represents the first animal model
of cyclic AMP (cAMP)-induced tumorigenesis, and the first animal model of
protein kinase A (PKA)-related tumorigenesis. The cAMP/PKA system is of
seminal importance for cellular function and signaling, and is
involved in many systems and diseases. This discovery is expected to
facilitate the development of drugs useful in treating endocrine and other tumors.
