Expression of EGAM1N could inhibit differentiation by elevating the protein levels of pluripotency factors in mouse ES cells.
Title: Partial inhibition of differentiation associated with elevated protein levels of pluripotency factors in mouse embryonic stem cells expressing exogenous EGAM1N homeoprotein.
Nuclear localization of exogenously expressed EGAM1 homeoproteins (EGAM1, EGAM1N, and EGAM1C) was determined. The amino acid residues crucial for the nuclear translocation of EGAM1 and EGAM1C were identified.
Title: Intact structure of EGAM1 homeoproteins and basic amino acid residues in the common homeodomain of EGAM1 and EGAM1C contribute to their nuclear localization in mouse embryonic stem cells.
embryonic stem cells expressing exogenous EGAM1 preferentially differentiate into extra-embryonic primitive endoderm lineages, rather than embryonic lineages or extra-embryonic trophectoderm lineages
Title: Preferential emergence of cell types expressing markers for primitive endoderm lineages in mouse embryonic stem cells expressing exogenous EGAM1 homeoprotein.
The generation of cardiomyocytes was severely suppressed in Egam1c transfectants without upregulation of Nkx2-5, a crucial gene for cardiomyogenesis. These results indicate that EGAM1C is capable of affecting terminal differentiation in mouse ES cells.
Title: Severe inhibition of in vitro cardiomyogenesis in mouse embryonic stem cells ectopically expressing EGAM1C homeoprotein.
mouse ES cells expressing exogenous EGAM1 preferentially differentiate into extra-embryonic primitive endoderm lineages, rather than embryonic lineages or extra-embryonic trophectoderm lineages.
Title: Preferential emergence of cell types expressing markers for primitive endoderm lineages in mouse embryonic stem cells expressing exogenous EGAM1 homeoprotein.
capable of affecting the stabilization of an undifferentiated state and the progression of differentiation in MG1.19 embryonic stem cells
Title: Effect of ectopic expression of homeoprotein EGAM1C on the cell morphology, growth, and differentiation in a mouse embryonic stem cell line, MG1.19 cells.
the ectopic expression of EGAM1C is capable of affecting the stabilization of an undifferentiated state and the progression of differentiation in MG1.19 ES cells, in addition to affecting cellular morphology and growth.
Title: Effect of ectopic expression of homeoprotein EGAM1C on the cell morphology, growth, and differentiation in a mouse embryonic stem cell line, MG1.19 cells.
EGAM1C may play a role in the expression of members of the placental PRL gene family, such as Prl3b1 and Prl5a1.
Title: Relationships between homeoprotein EGAM1C and the expression of the placental prolactin gene family in mouse placentae and trophoblast stem cells.
these transcripts encoding homeoproteins are capable of regulating the maintenance and/or differentiation of mouse ES cells and likely regulate that of preimplantation embryos.
Title: Cloning of complementary DNAs encoding structurally related homeoproteins from preimplantation mouse embryos: their involvement in the differentiation of embryonic stem cells.
this is the first delineation of the physiological role of CrxOS in ES cells.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
