  • The function of the homeobox transcription factor Pitx2 during mammalian skeletal muscle development

    Creator:
    Shih, Hung Ping
    Abstract:
    Homeodomain transcription factors control developmental processes. They pattern body formation, specify cell lineages and switch the onset of gene regulatory cascades. Pitx2, a bicoid-related homeodomain transcription factor, is asymmetrically expressed in the left lateral plate mesoderm and mesoderm-derived tissues. Pitx2 null mice are characterized by failure of body wall closure,...
