Regulation of the Growth of Multinucleated Muscle Cells by an Nfatc2-Dependent Pathway
16 Apr 2001
Abstract excerpt
The nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT) family of transcription factors regulates the development and differentiation of several tissue types. Here, we examine the role of NFATC2 in skeletal muscle by analyzing adult NFATC2(-/)- mice. These mice exhibit reduced muscle size due to a decrease in myofiber cross-sectional area, suggesting that growth is blunted. Muscle growth was examined during regeneration...
