Abstract

Transcriptional factor Pitx2 is a key regulator of left-right asymmetry in the developing gut. In this issue of Developmental Cell, Welsh et al. (2013) identify the formin Daam2, an effector of Wnt signaling, as a key cellular target of Pitx2 required for morphogenetic events during asymmetric gut formation.
