Regulation of epidermal differentiation by a Distal-less homeodomain gene.

Abstract excerpt

The Distal-less-related homeodomain gene Dlx3 is expressed in terminally differentiated murine epidermal cells. Ectopic expression of this gene in the basal cell layer of transgenic skin results in a severely abnormal epidermal phenotype and leads to perinatal lethality. The basal cells of affected mice ceased to proliferate, and expressed the profilaggrin and loricrin genes which are normally transcribed only in...
