Abstract excerpt
Mammalian cadherin-6 (K-cadherin, cad6) was originally identified by means of the polymerase chain reaction, but its biological functions have not yet been determined. We analyzed the expression pattern of the mouse homologue of this cadherin during development and found that it was transiently expressed in restricted rhombomeres and in other subdivisions of the neural plate and tube. In the midbrain and anterior...
