MAP3K1 deficient female mice exhibit imperforate vagina and infertilityLoss of MAP3K1 kinase activity impedes Müllerian duct (MD) caudal elongation and fusion with urogenital sinus (UGS) in embryogenesisThe MAP3K1-MAPK pathway up-regulates WNT signaling in epithelial cellsMAP3K1 deficiency down-regulates Wnt7b expression in the MD epithelium and prevents WNT activity in mesenchyme of the caudal MD.
