Epigenetic modulating proteins with a role in mammary gland development: Mammary gland development occurs throughout the lifetime and can be divided into several distinct stages some of which are represented here. Multiple proteins, involved in epigenetic regulation and mentioned in the text boxes above, play a role in this development largely through influencing mammary stem cell quiescence and activation, as well as luminal differentiation and lineage commitment. Colour-coded arrows show which stages these proteins modulate.
