Hesr1 and Hesr2 regulate atrioventricular boundary formation in the developing heart through the repression of Tbx2
26 Jan 2007
Abstract excerpt
The establishment of chamber specificity is an essential requirement for cardiac morphogenesis and function. Hesr1 (Hey1) and Hesr2 (Hey2) are specifically expressed in the atrium and ventricle, respectively, implicating these genes in chamber specification. In our current study, we show that the forced expression of Hesr1 or Hesr2 in the entire cardiac lineage of the mouse results in the reduction or loss of the...
