Abstract excerpt
The basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor Hand2 is required for growth and development of the heart, branchial arches and limb buds. To determine whether DNA binding is required for Hand2 to regulate the growth and development of these different embryonic tissues, we generated mutant mice in which the Hand2 locus was modified by a mutation (referred to as Hand2(EDE)) that abolished the DNA-binding...
