The homeotic protein dlk is expressed during peripheral nerve development.

Abstract excerpt

To investigate the molecular events controlling myelination of the peripheral nervous system, we compared gene expression of normal mouse sciatic nerves to that of the trembler mouse, whose Schwann cells are blocked in a pre-myelinating phenotype. Using cDNA array, we assessed expression levels of 1176 genes, and we found that delta-like protein (dlk), an epidermal growth factor-like homeotic protein, was...
