Abstract excerpt
The basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor Hand2 has been shown to play a role in the development of the mammalian sympathetic nervous system (SNS); however, its precise role could not be uncovered because Hand2 is required for early embryonic survival. We therefore generated a conditional Hand2 knockout mouse line by excising Hand2 in Wnt1-Cre-expressing neural crest-derived cells. These mice die at...
