Figure 5

Nucleotide sequence alignment of mitral and tufted cell-specific enhancer (MCE) from various mammalian species. Nucleotide sequence alignment of MCE from mouse, rat, dog, cow, monkey and human Tbx21 gene upstream regions. Putative transcription factor-binding sites are shown with upper bars. Two T-box sites (red) are present, which may act as targets of Tbr1, Tbr2 or Tbx21 expressed in the mitral and tufted cells.
