Prox 1, a prospero-related homeobox gene expressed during mouse development.
Prox 1, a likely mouse homologue of the Drosophila homeobox gene prospero has been cloned and its expression pattern analyzed during development. In Drosophila, prospero is expressed in the developing CNS, lens-secreting cone cells of the eye, and midgut. In the mouse, Prox 1 is expressed in many of the same tissues: young neurons of the subventricular region of the CNS, developing eye lens and...
متن کاملPituitary homeobox 1 (Ptx1) is differentially expressed during pituitary development.
Pituitary homeobox 1 (Ptx1) is a homeodomain-containing transcription factor acting on transcription of all pituitary hormone genes. Its expression is first detected in the stomodeal ectoderm and is maintained in all derivatives of this structure, including Rathke's pouch. We now show that Ptx1 is expressed in all pituitary cells but that it is differentially expressed in different lineages at ...
متن کاملProspero-related homeobox 1 (Prox1) at the crossroads of diverse pathways during adult neural fate specification
Over the last decades, adult neurogenesis in the central nervous system (CNS) has emerged as a fundamental process underlying physiology and disease. Recent evidence indicates that the homeobox transcription factor Prox1 is a critical intrinsic regulator of neurogenesis in the embryonic CNS and adult dentate gyrus (DG) of the hippocampus, acting in multiple ways and instructed by extrinsic cues...
متن کاملExpression of the Optx2 homeobox gene during mouse development
Optx2, a member of the sine oculis-Six family of homeobox genes, is first expressed in the anterior neural plate of the mouse embryo, and subsequently in the optic vesicle and ventral forebrain. During later development, expression is further restricted to precursors of the neural retina, optic chiasm, adenohypophysis and neurohypophysis. In the adult mouse retina, Optx2 mRNA is found in cells ...
متن کاملSpx1, a novel X-linked homeobox gene expressed during spermatogenesis
Spx1, a novel mouse homeobox gene, encodes a homeodomain characteristic of the paired-like class of homeobox genes and has been mapped to the distal end of the X chromosome. Northern blot hybridization of adult tissues detected high levels of a single Spx1 transcript in the testis. Further analysis by in situ hybridization revealed predominant Spx1 expression within the spermatogonia/preleptote...
