Lack of Prox1 Downregulation Disrupts the Expansion and Maturation of Postnatal Murine β-Cells
2 Dec 2015
Abstract excerpt
Transcription factor expression fluctuates during β-cell ontogeny, and disruptions in this pattern can affect the development or function of those cells. Here we uncovered that murine endocrine pancreatic progenitors express high levels of the homeodomain transcription factor Prox1, whereas both immature and mature β-cells scarcely express this protein. We also investigated if sustained Prox1 expression is...
