Embryology Flashcards
Where is sonic hedgehog gene produced?
base of limbs in zone of polarizing activity
What does sonic hedgehog gene do?
- Patterning along anterior-posterior axis
- CNS development
What can result from sonic hedgehog mutation?
holoprosencephaly
Where is Wnt-7 gene produced?
apical ectodermal ridge (thickened ectoderm at distal end of each developing limb)
What is the Wnt-7 gene for?
proper organization along dorsal ventral axis
Where is FGF gene produced?
apical ectodermal ridge
What does FGF gene do?
stimulates mitosis of underlying mesoderm (providing for lengthening of limbs)
What do the homeobox genes do?
involved in segmental organization of embryo in craniocaudal direction
What can hox mutations cause?
appendages in wrong locations
