Anthrax toxin receptor 2 functions in ECM homeostasis of the murine reproductive tract and promotes MMP activity.
Anthrax Toxin Receptor proteins function as receptors for anthrax toxin, however physiological activity remains unclear. To evaluate the biological role of Antxr2, we generated Antxr2-/- mice. Antxr2-/- mice were viable, however Antxr2 is required for parturition in young females and for preserving...
