Akirin is critical for early tinman induction and subsequent formation of the heart in Drosophila melanogaster
{{output}}
The regulation of formation of the Drosophila heart by the Nkx 2.5 homologue Tinman is a key event during embryonic development. In this study, we identify the highly conserved transcription cofactor Akirin as a key factor in the earliest induction of tinman b... ...
