Abstract

Transcription factors of the Zic family play important roles during animal development, and their misregulation has been implicated in several human diseases. Zic proteins are present in nematodes, and their function has been mostly studied in the model organism C. elegans. C. elegans possesses only one Zic family member, REF-2. Functional studies have shown that this factor plays a key role during the development of the nervous system, epidermis, and excretory system. In addition, they have revealed that the C. elegans Zic protein acts as an atypical mediator of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. In other animals including vertebrates, Zic factors are also regulators of nervous system development and modulators of Wnt signaling, suggesting that these are evolutionary ancient functions of Zic proteins.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 10 July 2018.
All research outputs
#20,465,050
of 23,023,224 outputs
Outputs from Advances in experimental medicine and biology
#3,988
of 4,966 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#378,196
of 442,364 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Advances in experimental medicine and biology
#197
of 237 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,023,224 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,966 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.1. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 442,364 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 237 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
