Ci-TnT

Gene product: troponin T
Organism: C. intestinalis
Summary of experimentsAt most 600 bp are necessary (Davidson 2003)
Ci-Tbx6b binds to 5'-GWTCACACCT-3' in vitro.

Ci-Tbx6b is necessary for expression at the 110-cell stage. (Yagi 2005)
At the tailbud stage, in the absence of Ci-Tbx6b, expression is only found in the posterior blastomeres (Yagi 2005)
Activity reported

Ci-Tbx6b regulates Ci-TnT in larval tail muscle, trunk ventral cells, central nervous system, brain vesicle in C. intestinalis (1, 2, 5, 6)
