SOX9 regulates prostaglandin D synthase gene transcription in vivo to ensure testis development (2007)

Wilhelm, D., Hiramatsu, R., Mizusaki, H., Widjaja, L., Combes, A. N., Kanai, Y., ...

In mammals, male sex is determined by the Y-chromosomal gene Sry ( sex-determining region of Y chromosome). The expression of Sry and subsequently Sox9 ( SRY box containing gene 9) in precursors of...

Redundant roles of Sox17 and Sox18 in early cardiovascular development of mouse embryos (2007)

Sakamoto, Y., Hara, K., Kanai-Azuma, M., Matsui, T., Miura, Y., Tsunekawa, N., ...

Sox7, -17 and -18 constitute the Sox subgroup F (SoxF) of HMG box transcription factor genes, which all are co-expressed in developing vascular endothelial cells in mice. Here we characterized...

Mutations in SLC6A19, encoding B0AT1, cause Hartnup disorder (2004)

Kleta, R., Romeo, E., Ristic, Z., Ohura, T., Stuart, C., Arcos-Burgos, M., ...

Hartnup disorder, an autosomal recessive defect named after an English family described in 1956 (ref. 1), results from impaired transport of neutral amino acids across epithelial cells in renal...

First-principles string molecular dynamics: An efficient approach for finding chemical reaction pathways (2004)

Kanai, Y., Tilocca, A., Selloni, A., Car, R.

A recently proposed approach, called "string method," allows us to find minimum energy pathways connecting two metastable states of a system [W. E et al., Phys. Rev. B 66, 052301 (2002)]. So far this...

Angular momentum distributions of Rydberg state electrons of Be-like sulfur produced through foil penetration (2002)

Imai, M, Sataka, M, Kitazawa, S, Komaki, K, Kawatsura, K, Shibata, H, ...

Biochemical Effects of 2, 3, 7, 8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) on theSertoli Cell Culture from Prepubertal Male Wistar Rats (2001)

M. A. Awal, M. Kurohmaru, B. B. Andriana, T. Mizukami, Y. Kanai, ...

Biochemical effects of 2, 3, 7, 8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) on the sertoli cell culture from prepubertal male Wistar rats were examined by light and transmission electron microscopy. Sertoli...

Structural and functional characterization of the mouse Sox9 promoter: implications for campomelic dysplasia (1999)

Kanai, Y, Koopman, P

Mutations in SOX9 cause campomelic dysplasia (CD), a dominant skeletal dysmorphology and XY sex reversal syndrome. The CD phenotype is sensitive to dosage and expression levels of SOX9, Sox9 is...
