K. Matsumoto et al., L3, A NOVEL MURINE LIM-HOMEODOMAIN TRANSCRIPTION FACTOR EXPRESSED IN THE VENTRAL TELENCEPHALON AND THE MESENCHYME SURROUNDING THE ORAL CAVITY, Neuroscience letters, 204(1-2), 1996, pp. 113-116
By reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction method, we isolated
a novel murine LIM-homeodomain gene, L3. In situ hybridization analys
es revealed that L3 mRNA was localized to the ventral telencephalon an
d the mesenchyme surrounding the oral cavity of mouse embryo, suggesti
ng that L3 may be involved in the region-specific differentiation of t
hese areas.
