Abstract excerpt
NGFI-A (also known as EGR-1, zif/268, and Krox-24) is a zinc finger transcription factor induced in many cell types by a variety of growth and differentiation stimuli. To determine if NGFI-A plays a requisite role in these processes, we used homologous recombination to mutate both alleles of NGFI-A in embryonic stem (ES) cells and examined its effect on growth and differentiation. We find that ES cells lacking...
