Deletion of the orphan nuclear receptor COUP-TFII in uterus leads to placental deficiency
2 Apr 2007
Abstract excerpt
COUP-TFII (NR2F2), chicken ovalbumin upstream promoter-transcription factor II, is an orphan nuclear receptor of the steroid/thyroid hormone receptor superfamily. The Coup-tfII-null mutant mice die during the early embryonic development because of angiogenesis and heart defects. To analyze the physiological function of COUP-TFII during organogenesis, we used the cre/loxP system to conditionally inactivate...
