"HCN4 expression is specifically stimulated in SAN tissue by Tbx3, a transcriptional repressor whose activation is... " That both Tbx3 and the gene expression it controls are of vital importance to normal heart function during development does not indicate a primary role of HCN4 (I f) in rate control."

"As shown in figure 5, sustained β-adrenergic receptor blockade resulted in the loss of the day–night rhythm in transcripts for (i) the sinus node-specific Shox2 [35], (ii) Tbx3 and Tbx18, which regulate the pacemaking phenotype and can promote ectopic Hcn4 expression [36,37], and (iii) Mef2c, which is a direct regulator of Hcn4 [38]."
