Abstract excerpt
Nkx2.5 is a conserved homeodomain (HD) containing a transcription factor essential for early cardiac development. We generated several mutations modeling some patients with congenital heart disease. Transgenic mice (tg) expressing the wildtype Nkx2.5 under beta-myosin heavy chain (MHC) promoter died during the embryonic stage. However, tg mice expressing this mutation under beta-MHC promoter (beta-MHC-TG(I183P)),...
