endocrine/exocrine glands
• some homozygote mothers are unable to secrete sufficient amounts of milk to support pups
• mammary epithelium produces large secretory vesicles and lipid droplets but an impaired terminal differentiation of alveoli prevents delivery
• Background Sensitivity: penetrance of this phenoptye is 100% after two backcrosses to C57BL/6
• involution of mammary glands starts shortly after birth
• impaired terminal differentiation of alveoli prevents delivery of milk
• at parturition, the number and size of alveoli are reduced and local interstitial fibrosis and congestion of milk occurs
• this state resembles involution that occurs to wild-type mothers about two days after weaning of pups
• more complete involution is observed in mothers with an extreme phenotype
• Background Sensitivity: penetrance of this phenoptye is 100% after two backcrosses to C57BL/6
