Abstract

Summary: The patched gene (Ptc) is a member of the hedgehog signaling pathway which plays a central role in the development of many invertebrate and vertebrate tissues. In addition, Ptc and a number of other pathway members are mutated in some common human cancers. Patched is the receptor for the hedgehog ligand and in the mouse ablation of the Ptc gene leads to developmental defects and an embryonic lethal phenotype. Here we describe a conditional Ptc allele in mice which will have utility for the temporospatial ablation of Ptc function. genesis 36:158–161, 2003. Β© 2003 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

## Abstract __Sox5__ belongs to the Sry‐related HMG box gene family, which encodes transcription factors controlling cell fate and differentiation in many lineages. __Sox5__ produces a long L‐Sox5 protein in neuronal, glial, neural crest, cartilage, and other cells, and a short Sox5 protein in sper
