Ets1 is required for proper migration and differentiation of the cardiac neural crest
1 Apr 2010
Abstract excerpt
Defects in cardiac neural crest lead to congenital heart disease through failure of cardiac outflow tract and ventricular septation. In this report, we demonstrate a previously unappreciated role for the transcription factor Ets1 in the regulation of cardiac neural crest development. When bred onto a C57BL/6 genetic background, Ets1(-/-) mice have a nearly complete perinatal lethality. Histologic examination of...
