Requirement for Bhlhb5 in the specification of amacrine and cone bipolar subtypes in mouse retina
8 Nov 2006
Abstract excerpt
The mammalian retina comprises six major neuronal cell types and one glial type that are further classified into multiple subtypes based on their anatomical and functional differences. Nevertheless, how these subtypes arise remains largely unknown at the molecular level. Here, we demonstrate that the expression of Bhlhb5, a bHLH transcription factor of the Olig family, is tightly associated with the generation of...
