"During embryogenesis, Pitx2c was shown to synergistically drive expression of natriuretic peptide A (Nppa) in the presence of the homeobox transcription factor, Nkx2.5 which in turn, suppressed the expression of the pacemaker channel gene, Hcn4, and the T-box transcription factor (Tbx3), gene, thus delineating contractile atrial myocardium from the sinoatrial node."

"Nkx2.5 in the atrial myocardium suppresses the expression of pacemaker channel gene Hcn4 and T-box transcription factor Tbx3, restricting their expression domain to the forming Nkx2.5-negative sinoatrial node and sinus horns and defining a gene expression boundary between the atrium and SA node."
