Description
Product Characteristics:
Description: Mesp1 (mesoderm posterior 1) is a basic helix-loop-helix-type transcription factor, which along with its related proteins, has an essential role in both segmentation and rostro-caudal patterning of somites in the anterior pre-somitic mesoderm. Mesp1 is expressed in many of the precursors of the cardiovascular system and is known to play a role in the process of cardiac morphogenesis.
Aliases: bHLHc5, MGC10676, MESP1
Target Information: Transcription factor. Plays a role in the epithelialization of somitic mesoderm and in the development of cardiac mesoderm. Defines the rostrocaudal patterning of the somites by participating in distinct Notch pathways
