Pendrin Is a Novel In Vivo Downstream Target Gene of the TTF-1/Nkx-2.1 Homeodomain Transcription Factor in Differentiated Thyroid Cells
31 Oct 2005
Abstract excerpt
Thyroid transcription factor gene 1 (TTF-1) is a homeobox-containing gene involved in thyroid organogenesis. During early thyroid development, the homeobox gene Nkx-2.5 is expressed in thyroid precursor cells coincident with the appearance of TTF-1. The aim of this study was to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying thyroid-specific gene expression. We show that the Nkx-2.5 C terminus interacts with the...
