A transcription factor controlling development of peripheral sense organs in C. elegans.

Nature - 5 Jan 1995

Zhao C, Emmons S W

Abstract excerpt

The basic-helix-loop-helix (bHLH) proteins constitute a class of transcription factors thought to be important in the control of cell-type determination. These transcription factors are believed to activate the expression of cell-type-specific genes to generate stable differentiated cell types. The expression of bHLH proteins, in turn, is regulated by spatial cues, so that switches in cell type occur in a...
