Genetic deletion of<i>Cyp26b1</i>negatively impacts limb skeletogenesis by inhibiting chondrogenesis
1 Aug 2011
Abstract excerpt
Cyp26b1, a retinoic acid (RA)-metabolising enzyme, is expressed in the developing limb bud, and Cyp26b1(-/-) mice present with severe limb defects. These malformations might be attributable to an RA-induced patterning defect; however, recent reports suggest that RA is dispensable for limb patterning. In this study, we examined the role of endogenous retinoid signalling in skeletogenesis using Cyp26b1(-/-) mice...
