Abstract excerpt
The transcription factor FOXJ1 (alias HFH-4 or FKHL13) of the winged-helix/forkhead family is expressed in cells with cilia or flagella, and seems to be involved in the regulation of axonemal structural proteins. The knockout mouse Foxj1(-/-) shows abnormalities of organ situs, consistent with random determination of left-right asymmetry, and a complete absence of cilia. The human FOXJ1 gene which maps to...
