A terminal selector prevents a Hox transcriptional switch to safeguard motor neuron identity throughout life
To become and remain functional, individual neuron types must select during development and maintain throughout life their distinct terminal identity features, such as expression of specific neurotransmitter receptors, ion channels and neuropeptides. Here, we report a molecular mechanism that enable...
