Table 3 Differentially expressed homeobox genes
Homeobox | Gene name | Function |
|---|---|---|
Msx | SLOU | Stimulation of cell proliferation, limb outgrowth, digit elongation and separation [53] |
Hox6-8 | ARX | Hox genes specify cell identities along the anteroposterior axis of metazoans [54] and play a central role in anterior-posterior patterning, providing a framework for the molecular comparison of animal body plan evolution [55] |
HOXD9 | ||
ABD-B | ||
Nk2.1 | SMOX-5 | Development of the larval anterior neurogenic domains [56] |
Irx | SIX6 | Irx genes are required for the proper formation of the posterior forebrain, midbrain, and hindbrain and, to a lesser extent, the spinal cord [57] |
Meox | Meox1 | Meox1 is a novel regulator of TGF-β-induced smooth muscle cell differentiation [58] |
