Utx is required for proper induction of ectoderm and mesoderm during differentiation of embryonic stem cells.

Embryonic development requires chromatin remodeling for dynamic regulation of gene expression patterns to ensure silencing of pluripotent transcription factors and activation of developmental regulators.
