Abstract excerpt
OVOLs (OVO-like proteins) are ubiquitously conserved genes encoding a C2H2 zinc finger transcription factor in mammals. Functional studies on OVOL1 and OVOL2 using knockout mice have suggested that these genes play a pivotal role in the development of epithelial tissues arising from germ cells; however, the role of the OVOL1-OVOL2 axis in normal and diseased tissues remains unclear. This review highlights recent...
