Protein Description 324 amino acids; 35-38 kDa, depending on phosphorylation status; contains one TN domain (residues 10-21), one homeodomain (residues 138197), and one NK2 domain (residues 212-234). Expression Expression is mainly restricted to the heart. But during embryogenesis NKX2-5 expression has also been detected in spleen-precursor cells. Localisation Cytoplasmatic and nuclear, probabl...

The less-traveled low road in nuclear magnetic resonance is discussed, honoring the contributions of Prof. Bernhard Blümich, aspiring towards reaching ‘a new low.’ A history subject and its current status are briefly reviewed, followed by an effort to prophesy possible directions for future developments.
