Abstract excerpt
Regulatory networks that maintain cardiomyocyte identity are not completely understood. Here, we have examined the relationship of the transcription factors Nr2f1a and Isl1, which, respectively, repress and promote pacemaker cardiomyocyte (PC) differentiation within the venous pole of zebrafish atria. Using zebrafish nr2f1a;isl1 mutants, we found that loss of Isl1 exacerbates the inability to maintain the atrial...
