Abstract excerpt
Prx1 and Prx2 are closely related paired-class homeobox genes that are expressed in very similar patterns predominantly in mesenchyme. Prx1 loss-of-function mutants show skeletal defects in skull, limbs and vertebral column (Martin, J. F., Bradley, A. and Olson, E. N. (1995) Genes Dev. 9, 1237-1249). We report here that mice in which Prx2 is inactivated by a lacZ insertion had no skeletal defects, whereas...
