(chiefly col.) ; 30 cm.Experiments suggest that Gastrulation and Brain specific Homeobox 2 is more likely to function providing positional information along the anterior-posterior embryonic axis than to control survival, proliferation, or differentiation of neural or hematopoietic progenitor cells. A model is presented which proposes that Gastrulation and Brain specific Homeobox 2, along with Otx2, is responsible for early definition of posterior and anterior regions of the developing embryonic axis, thereby establishing the midbrain-hindbrain organizer region.412629 bytesapplication/pdfenHomeobox genesThesis
