Hnf6 and Tcf2 (MODY5) are linked in a gene network operating in a precursor cell domain of the embryonic pancreas

Abstract excerpt

During pancreatic organogenesis endocrine cells arise from non self-renewing progenitors that express Ngn3. The precursors that give rise to Ngn3+ cells are presumably located within duct-like structures. However, the nature of such precursors is poorly understood. We show that, at E13-E18, the embryonic stage during which the major burst of beta-cell neogenesis takes place, pancreatic duct cells express...
