High impact information on Egr1

  • Egr-1 is an immediate-early gene whose growth factor-stimulated transcriptional induction displays a transient activity profile and occurs independent of protein synthesis [1].
  • Transcription factors such as Msx-1, Msx-2 and Egr-1, growth factors, including TGF beta's, BMPs, and FGFs, and structural proteins such as syndecan and tenascin are expressed in transient, time and space-specific patterns in many organ rudiments, including the tooth [2].
