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 epicardium, and the wall of the great arteries and veins. We further scrutinised expression of PRX1 and PRX2 in the...
