Abstract excerpt
RATIONALE: Transcriptional coactivator with PDZ-binding motif (TAZ) is assumed to act as a coactivator of several transcription factors including smad2/3. In the lung, surfactant protein C (Sftpc) is known to be a downstream target of thyroid transcription factor-1 (TTF-1)-TAZ transcriptional coactivation. OBJECTIVES: The lung phenotype of Taz-deficient mice was explored. METHODS: Taz-deficient mice were analyzed...
