Abstract excerpt
Objective : The aim of this study is to identify direct AP2α target genes implicated in craniofacial morphogenesis. Design : AP2α, a product of the TFAP2A gene, is a master regulator of neural crest differentiation and development. AP2α is expressed in ectoderm and in migrating cranial neural crest (NC) cells that provide patterning information during orofacial development and generate most of the skull bones and...
