of a novel bHLH factor, termed OUT. OUT, structurally related to capsulin/epicardin/Pod-1
and ABF-1/musculin/MyoR, is expressed mainly in the adult mouse reproductive organs,
such as the ovary, uterus, and testis, and is barely detectable in tissues of developing
embryos. Physical association of OUT with the E protein was predicted from the primary …
