Abstract excerpt
The mechanisms that regulate smooth muscle development and differentiation are poorly understood. Although recent studies have suggested the possible role of a zinc finger transcription factor, GATA-6, in the differentiation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), the downstream gene targeted by GATA-6 is unknown. The expression of smooth muscle-myosin heavy chain (Sm-MHC) provides a highly specific marker for...
