Msx homeobox gene family and craniofacial development.

Cell research - 1 Dec 2003

Alappat Sylvia, Zhang Zun Yi, Chen Yi Ping

Abstract excerpt

Vertebrate Msx genes are unlinked, homeobox-containing genes that bear homology to the Drosophila muscle segment homeobox gene. These genes are expressed at multiple sites of tissue-tissue interactions during vertebrate embryonic development. Inductive interactions mediated by the Msx genes are essential for normal craniofacial, limb and ectodermal organ morphogenesis, and are also essential to survival in mice,...
