Cardiac Expression of Tnnt1 Requires the GATA4-FOG2 Transcription Complex by Nikolay L. Manuylov, Sergei G. Tevosian

“…Previous work by us and others has shown that the loss of interaction between GATA4 and FOG2 protein partners is embryonic lethal due to heart failure at embryonic day (E) 13.5; however, the role of this important protein duo in various cardiac compartments (e.g., myocardial, endocardial, or epicardial cells) remains to be understood. …”
