Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Frizzled-5 (Fzd5) is expressed in the developing retina of multiple species and appears to play species-specific roles during eye development. The present study analyzed the effects of tissue-specific deletion of Fzd5 on mammalian eye development. METHODS: To generate Fzd5 conditional knockout (CKO) mice, Fzd5(+/-) mice carrying the Six3-Cre transgene were crossed with Fzd5(LoxP/LoxP) mice. To determine...
