Abstract:The basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors Ptf1a and Math1 are necessary for the specification of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-ergic and glutamatergic cell lineages in the cerebellum, respectively. Recent evidence suggests that cascades of bHLH factor activities drive cell type specificity in Ptf1a-positive and Math1positive lineages. Neurogenin1 (Neurog1) is a bHLH transcription factor involved in the development of several nervous system structures including the cerebral cortex, trigeminal sen… Show more
