Abstract
Cdh16 was initially described as a truncated cadherin expressed in the adul t rabbit kidney. We have analyzed the expression pattern of cdh16 during mo use embryogenesis, and show that cdh-16 transcripts an present in ureter-de rived epithelia of the metanephric kidney. In addition, we demonstrate that cdh-16 is also transiently expressed in the epithelia of embryonic sex duc ts and the lung of the embryo. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd. All r ights reserved.
