Abstract excerpt
Zebrafish pou2, encoding the class V POU transcription factor orthologous to mouse Oct-3/4, has been implicated in different aspects of development, such as dorsoventral patterning, endoderm formation, and brain regionalization, by analyzing pou2 mutant embryos. In the present study, we first conducted overexpression of pou2-modified genes by mRNA injection, and found that pou2 and its active form (vp-pou2)...
