Transcription factor AP-2 plays an important role in embryonic and cardiovascular development and often influences the development of embryo. AP-2α and AP-2β are associated with the development of cardiovascular system. AP-2α mainly affects ventricular outflow tract and arteries, while AP-2β has been identified to be involved in the opening and closing of ductus arterious. This paper systematically reviews latest research advances in the structure and expression of AP-2 gene family, as well as its functions and mechanisms in embryonic and cardiovascular development, especially in patent ductus arterious.
