Q

WNT function

A

binds to frizzled and LRP to relay signal that transduces via beta catenin, allows activation of transcription of wnt target genes.

16
Q

what do you need for limb development?

A

retinoic acid(via hensens node of primitive streak) and hox genes

17
Q

sonic hedgehog (shh)

A

binding growth factor binding to Patched, seen in A-P. Located in posterior dorsal mesenchyme. also seen in notochord for ventralization of neural tube.

18
Q

location of the zone of polarizing activity

A

posterior dorsal mesenchyme of limb bud

19
Q

How does SHH work?

A

SHH allows GLi to activate gene transcription by binding to patched receptor, turning on pattern formation

20
Q

WNT7A and BMPs

A

dorsal ventral axis org.

21
Q

What induces early limb bud?

A

FGF10 via lateral plate mesoderm. induces FGF8 to keep inducing FGF10

22
Q

what induces FGF4?

A

SHH, which then FGF4 induces SHH more

23
Q

Shh inhibits

A

BMP so FGF4/8 increases.

24
Q

Alx4

A

anterior mesoderm

25
Q

Progress zone

A

allows for more distal identity longer it stays there. Indicates specialization of tiem in each area for specialization of limb dev.

26
Q

what happens at week 6?

A

limbs rotate in parasag rotaion to rotate after limb formation.

27
Q

Location of apical ectodermal ridge

A

at distal end of lib bud ectoderm. without it you have no growth and no distal limbs and potentially no signalling of mesoderm.

28
Q

Hox8

A

posterior

29
Q

what induces SHH?

A

FGF 8
