Disease relevance of Cutl2

 

High impact information on Cutl2

 

Biological context of Cutl2

  • More recently, vertebrates were found to possess a second cut orthologs that was generated by gene duplication: Cux2 [1].
  • Here we describe the dynamic profile of Cux2 during mouse embryogenesis [3].
  • Cux2 is hypothesized to function as a transcriptional regulator that inhibits terminal differentiation and cell cycle exit [3].
  • Cux2 expression coincides with many tissue regions undergoing proliferative growth or cell rearrangements, however some later expression domains also include sites of programmed cell death [3].
 

Anatomical context of Cutl2

 

Associations of Cutl2 with chemical compounds

  • Cux-2 mRNA expression is also found in the embryonic SVZ, overlapping with BrdU-positive dividing precursors, but it is not expressed in the VZ [4].
 

Physical interactions of Cutl2

 

Other interactions of Cutl2

  • We did not observe an N-terminally processed Cux2 isoform equivalent to the Cux1 p110 isoform [1].
  • Using different molecular markers and Pax6-deficient mice, we provide data that suggest a relationship between the early-determined Cux2-positive neuronal precursors in the SVZ/IZ and upper layer neurons [7].
  • Dynamic expression of murine Cux2 in craniofacial, limb, urogenital and neuronal primordia [3].
  • Our findings suggest that Cux2 might mediate some of the effects of Notch signaling on interneuron formation [8].
