NKX2-5 decreases the amount of HCN4. 7 / 7
| 7

reach
"The results revealed that Nkx2.5 silencing increased HCN4 expression, decreased Cx40 expression and disrupted the expression of calcium handling proteins."

reach
"Nkx2.5 silencing increased HCN4 expression, decreased Cx40 expression and caused disturbance in the expression of calcium handling proteins."

reach
"Loss of Nkx2.5 leads to more pacemaker-like myocardial tissue, therefore increasing expression of Hcn4 but reducing levels of Cx40."

reach
"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."

reach
"During heart tube maturation, Nkx2.5 progressively represses expression of Hcn4, resulting in molecular delineation of a distinct, compact SA node region in the right atrium."

reach
"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."

reach
"Moreover, the downregulation of Hcn4 is unlikely to be due to reduced Nkx2-5 levels, as Nkx2-5 has been reported to negatively regulate Hcn4 gene expression ."
