Nkx2–5 Second Heart Field Target Gene Ccdc117 Regulates DNA Metabolism and Proliferation
11 Feb 2019
Abstract excerpt
null mouse embryos display severe OFT and RV hypoplasia and a single ventricle phenotype due to decreased proliferation of Second Heart Field (SHF) cells, a pool of cardiac progenitors present in anterior pharyngeal arch mesoderm at mid-gestation. However, definition of the precise role of Nkx2-5 in facilitating SHF expansion is incomplete. We have found that Nkx2-5 positively and directly regulates a novel...
