Iroquois transcription factor irx2a is required for multiciliated and transporter cell fate decisions during zebrafish pronephros development
23 Apr 2019
Abstract excerpt
The genetic regulation of nephron patterning during kidney organogenesis remains poorly understood. Nephron tubules in zebrafish are composed of segment populations that have unique absorptive and secretory roles, as well as multiciliated cells (MCCs) that govern fluid flow. Here, we report that the transcription factor iroquois 2a (irx2a) is requisite for zebrafish nephrogenesis. irx2a transcripts localized to...
