Research Abstract |
Cbfb is a cotranscription factor of Runx proteins. It forms a heterodimer with Runx family proteins and binds to DNA. To elucidate the function of Cbfb in skeletal development, we generated conditional knockout mice, in which Cbfb was deleted in mesenchymal cells in whole body. In Cbfb conditional knockout mice, bone formation and chondrocyte differentiation were retarded, indicating that Cbfb plays an important role in skeletal development.
