Sin3a Associated Protein 130kDa, sap130, plays an evolutionary conserved role in zebrafish heart development

Ricardo A. DeMoya, Rachel Forman-Rubinsky, Deon Fontaine, Joseph H. Shin, Simon C. Watkins, Cecilia W. Lo, Michael Tsang

The paper investigates the role of sap130a in zebrafish heart development, showing it regulates SHF cell accretion and maturation, leading to ventricular hypoplasia.
