Genetic Control of Mesodermal Tissue Differentiation

GENETIC CONTROL OF MESODERMAL TISSUE DIFFERENTIATION 

The Role of mef2 in the Differentiation of Somatic Muscles, Visceral Mesoderm, and the Heart 

A growing list of presumptive targets of mefl activity is emerging. It is clear that in the mefl mutants, myosin heavy chain (MHC) expression is not activated in any of the musculatures (Bour et al., 1995 Lilly et al., 1995). It is currently not known whether the regulation of MHC occurs at the transcriptional level. Troponin T and
