endocrine/exocrine glands
• in about 20% of mutants, the fat pad in mammary glands is not completely filled, no lateral branching is observed, and even in the absence of fat pad filling, glands do not contain any end-buds, indicating cessation of growth
• mammary glands, on serial transplantation, undergo premature arrest in ductal growth without alterations in lobulo-alveolar growth
