patterning Flashcards
roof plate
dorsalising
interneurons
bmp wnt
floor plate
ventralising
motor neurons
shh
notochord removal effect (patterning)
no motor neurons
notochord secretes SHH -> ESSENTIAL for motor neurons)
ectopic notochord on neural tube
induces motor neurons
ap patterning
elongation of neural tube
develop brain bulges and SC
cerberus
ap patterning
antagonise nodal WNT signalling
prevents BMP signalling
dickopf
ap patterning
competes WNT from receptors (prevents wnt signalling)
otx2
requires for DKK
activates FGF2
wnt (in midbrain hindbrain signaling)
activates FGF
fgf (in midbrain hindbrain signaling)
activates otx2
secondary organisers
stretch at both sides to produce three ventricle phase
ectopic fgf8
results in ectopic midbrain formation
homeobox gene expression
defines AP patterning
hox gene
clusters aligned on chromosome in order of expression
targets of WNT, Shh, FGF, RA
