Abstract
We report on the expression pattern of a novel EGF-containing gene named Ma eg. RNA in situ studies indicate that Maeg is first activated during specif ication of the early lateral dermatome, and continues to be expressed in al l the dermatome derivatives as the dermis of the trunk, the hair follicles, and the mesenchyme of the cranio-facial region.
