Abstract excerpt
A homeodomain-containing transcription factor Csx/Nkx-2.5 is an important regulator of cardiogenesis in mammals. Three different mutants, Gln170ter (designated A) and Thr178Met (designated B) in the helix 2 of the homeodomain and Gln198ter mutation (designated C) just after homeodomain, have been reported to cause atrial septal defect with atrial ventricular block. We here examined the functions of these three...
