LHX2 is a direct NF-κB target gene that promotes primary hair follicle placode down-growth

Abstract excerpt

The transcription factor nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) plays an essential role in epidermal appendage induction and morphogenesis. In the epidermis of mice lacking NF-κB activity, initiation of primary hair follicle pre-placode formation is observed, but these primitive structures fail to proliferate and generate placodes. NF-κB signaling is known to modulate activity of WNT and SHH signaling at early stages of...
