Krox-20 inhibits Jun-NH2-terminal kinase/c-Jun to control Schwann cell proliferation and death

The transcription factor Krox-20 controls Schwann cell myelination. Schwann cells in Krox-20 null mice fail to myelinate, and unlike myelinating Schwann cells, continue to proliferate and are susceptible to death. We find that enforced Krox-20 expression in Schwann cells cell-autonomously inactivate...
