Abstract excerpt
FoxH1 (FAST) is a transcription factor that mediates signaling by transforming growth factor-beta, Activin, and Nodal. The role of FoxH1 in development has now been investigated by the generation and analysis of FoxH1-deficient (FoxH1(-/-)) mice. The FoxH1(-/-) embryos showed various patterning defects that recapitulate most of the defects induced by the loss of Nodal signaling. A substantial proportion of...
