NKX2.1 specifies cortical interneuron fate by activating Lhx6.

Development (Cambridge, England) - 1 Apr 2008

Du Tonggong, Xu Qing, Ocbina Polloneal J, Anderson Stewart A

Abstract excerpt

In the ventral telencephalon, the medial ganglionic eminence (MGE) is a major source of cortical interneurons. Expression of the transcription factor NKX2.1 in the MGE is required for the specification of two major subgroups of cortical interneurons - those that express parvalbumin (PV) or somato...
