Crucial Role of PDX-1 in Pancreas Development, β-Cell Differentiation, and Induction of Surrogate β-Cells
30 Jun 2007
Abstract excerpt
Pancreatic and duodenal homeobox factor-1 (PDX-1) plays a crucial role in pancreas development, beta-cell differentiation, and maintaining mature beta-cell function. At an early stage of embryonic development, PDX-1 is initially expressed in the gut region when the foregut endoderm becomes committed to common pancreatic precursor cells. During pancreas development, PDX-1 expression is maintained in precursor...
