Abstract excerpt
Cell differentiation is determined by a certain set of transcription factors such as MyoD in myogenesis. However, transcription factors that play a positive role in phenotypic gene expression in skeletal cells are largely unknown, except the recently identified CBFA1. Scleraxis is a helix-loop-helix-type transcription factor whose transcripts are expressed in sclerotome and in a certain set of skeletal cells;...
