Isolation, characterization, and expression of the murine Wilms' tumor gene (WT1) during kidney development.
1 Mar 1991
Abstract excerpt
The human Wilms' tumor predisposition gene, WT1, is a Cys-His zinc finger polypeptide which appears to be a transcription factor controlling gene expression during embryonic kidney development. In order to analyze the role of the WT1 gene in nephroblast differentiation, we have isolated the murine homolog of human WT1. An extremely high level of amino acid sequence conservation (greater than 95%) extends...
