The mouse achaete-scute homolog-2 gene (Ascl2 or Mash2) encodes a transcription factor
playing a role in the development of the trophoblast. The Ascl2 is an imprinted gene with …

The mouse achaete-scute homolog-2 gene (Mash2), a member of the achaete-scute gene
family, encodes a transcription factor that plays an important role in the development of the …

The mouse achaete-scute homolog-2 gene (Ascl2 or Mash2) encodes a transcription factor
playing a role in the development of the trophoblast. The Ascl2 gene is paternally imprinted …

Imprinted genes are expressed primarily from one parental allele by virtue of a germ line
epigenetic process. Achaete-scute complex homolog 2 (Ascl2 aka Mash2) is a maternally …

Several imprinted genes have been implicated in the regulation of placental function and
embryonic growth. On distal mouse chromosome 7, two clusters of imprinted genes, each …

Here we describe the cloning of the human Achaete Scute Homologue 2 (HASH2) gene,
officially designated ASCL2 (Achaete Scute complex like 2), a homologue of the …

Experimental studies showed that genomic imprinting is fundamental in fetoplacental
development by timely regulating the expression of the imprinted genes to overlook a set of …

Mash2, a basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor, stimulates mononucleate trophoblast cell
proliferation and inhibits giant/binucleate cell formation. In mice, Mash2 is a maternally …

Background Genomic imprinting is an epigenetic chromosomal modification in the gametes
or zygotes that results in a non-random monoallelic expression of specific autosomal genes …

Previous studies revealed that Igf2 and Mpr/Igf2r are imprinted in eutherian mammals and
marsupials but not in monotremes or birds. Igf2 lies in a large imprinted cluster in eutherians …
