Bcl11b is a Newly Identified Regulator of Vascular Smooth Muscle Phenotype and Arterial Stiffness

2017-09-24

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> B-cell leukemia 11b (Bcl11b) is a zinc-finger transcription factor known as master regulator of T lymphocytes and neuronal development during embryogenesis. Bcl11b-interacting protein COUP-TFII is required for atrial development and vasculogenesis, however a role of Bcl11b in the adult cardiovascular system is unknown. A genome-wide association study (GWAS) recently showed that a gene desert reg...
