Dlx3 is a homeodomain transcription factor in vertebrates, related to Distal-less in Drosophila, that is expressed in differentiating epidermal cells, in neural crest, hair follicles, dental epithelium and mesenchyme, the otic and olfactory placodes, limb bud, placenta, and in the cement gland, whic

## Abstract In vertebrates, there are six or more copies of genes related to the __Drosophila__ pattern formation homeodomain gene Distalβless. Among this family, __Dlx__3 and __Dlx__5 share extensive sequence homology and have similar, but distinctive, expression patterns, suggesting that these tw
In mouse embryos, the muscle segment homeobox genes, Msx-1 and Msx-2 are expressed during critical stages of neural tube, neural crest, and craniofacial development, suggesting that these genes play important roles in organogenesis and cell differentiation. Although the patterns of expression are in
