We have developed gene-targeted mice with deletion of Nkx2.5. Embryos were isolated at embryonic day 9.5 and the middle third containing the heart was run on Affymetrix Mu11kA and Mu11kB arrays. Fo
Lack of the conserved NK2-domain of the cardiac transcription factor Nkx2.5 causes multiple heart defects . The NK2 family of homeobox genes constitutes a family of transcription factors that play an
