Abstract excerpt
HNF-3 beta, a transcription factor of the winged-helix family, is expressed in embryonic and adult endoderm and also in midline cells of the node, notochord, and floor plate in mouse embryos. To define the function of HNF-3 beta, a targeted mutation in the HNF-3 beta locus was generated by homologous recombination in embryonic stem cells. Mice lacking HNF-3 beta die by embryonic day (E) 10-11. Mutant embryos...
