Abstract excerpt
Cardiac homeobox gene Csx/Nkx-2.5 is essential for normal heart development and morphogenesis and is the earliest marker for cardiogenesis. To elucidate the regulatory mechanisms of Csx/Nkx-2.5 expression, we have isolated and characterized the upstream regulatory region of human Csx/Nkx-2.5 (CSX1). Transfection of the reporter gene containing a 965-bp CSX1 5' flanking region indicated that this region confers...
