| Research Abstract |
Dlg1 gene targeted mice exhibit congenital heart defects including outflow tract separation defect and ventricular septal defect. Distribution of cardiac neural crest cells did not exhibit retarded migration. On the other hand, elongation of organ of Corti, intestine, ureter and sternum was insufficient in these mice. As the convergent extension process was recently reported to be needed in the elongation of these tissues and in the outflow tract development, Dlg1 may be involved in the organogenesis through its role in the convergent extension.
