Abstract
The T-box family genes are evolutionarily conserved transcription factors. In particular, Tbx4 and Tbx5 are closely conserved and play crucial roles in development and organogenesis. Tbx4 is essential for hindlimb and allantoic vessel formation [1]. It is also highly expressed in the lung mesenchyme (Fig. 8.1), initially expressed at embryonic day (E) 9.25 and later expressed throughout murine embryogenesis [2].
