Abstract excerpt
PRX1 (MHox) and PRX2 (S8) were previously shown to be expressed throughout embryogenesis in complex, mostly mesenchyme-specific patterns. In the developing cardiovascular system both genes were highly expressed in prospective connective tissues, that is, endocardial cushions and valves, the epica...
