Abstract excerpt
In vertebrates and insects, the homeobox transcription factors of the engrailed family have a dual function. They take part in regionalization during early embryogenesis and later in neuronal specification. In mammals, two engrailed homologues exist, engrailed-1 and engrailed-2, which are expressed in a broad band around the isthmus at an age when the serotonergic and noradrenergic neurons in mid/hindbrain are...
