Impaired renal Na+ retention in the sgk1-knockout mouse

Wulff, Peer, Vallon, Volker, Huang, Dan Yang, Völkl, Harald, Yu, Fang, Richter, Kerstin, ...

The serum- and glucocorticoid-regulated kinase (sgk1) is induced by mineralocorticoids and, in turn, upregulates heterologously expressed renal epithelial Na+ channel (ENaC) activity in Xenopus...

Gene Targeting Reveals a Widespread Role for the High-Mobility-Group Transcription Factor Sox11 in Tissue Remodeling

Sock, Elisabeth, Rettig, Stefanie D., Enderich, Janna, Bösl, Michael R., Tamm, Ernst R., Wegner, Michael

The high-mobility-group domain-containing transcription factor Sox11 is expressed transiently during embryonic development in many tissues that undergo inductive remodeling. Here we have analyzed the...

The Class III POU Domain Protein Brn-1 Can Fully Replace the Related Oct-6 during Schwann Cell Development and Myelination

Friedrich, Ralf P., Schlierf, Beate, Tamm, Ernst R., Bösl, Michael R., Wegner, Michael

For differentiation, Schwann cells rely on the class III POU domain transcription factor Oct-6, which is expressed transiently when Schwann cells have established a one-to-one relation with axons but...
