The spatial localization of Dlx-2 during tooth development CONNECTIVE TISSUE RESEARCH Thomas, B. L., Porteus, M. H., Rubenstein, J. L., Sharpe, P. T. 1995; 32 (1-4): 27-34

Abstract

The spatial distribution of Dlx-2 protein during murine tooth development has been investigated using immunohistochemistry with Dlx-2 antibodies. In common with several other homeobox genes expressed in toothgerms, Dlx-2 shows a multiphasic distribution in both epithelially and mesenchymally derived structures. This localization shows a number of similarities with the expression of Msx-2 and suggests a role for Dlx-2 in tooth initiation and tissue patterning.
