摘要
We have compared the expression patterns of the mouse Forkhead homologue 1/ mesoderm/mesenchyme forkhead 1 (Fkh1/Mf1) gene with that of the highly related winged helix gene Mfh1 in late gestation mouse embryos. Transcripts for both genes are restricted to derivatives of the mesoderm. Go-expression was found in cartilage primordia of the head, ribs, vertebra and bones. However, in several structures analyzed, Fkh1/Mf1 signals are lower in the inner layers of the developing cartilage than those of Mfh1. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd.
