Research Abstract |
We identified a transcription factor p63 as the potent inducer of SOX6, a member of SOX family essential for chondrocyte generation and differentiation. In this study, we revealed that p63 was extensively expressed in chondrocytes, that p63 was indispensable for development of limb cartilage, and that p63 played important roles in every differentiation stages of chondrocytes.
