Progressive Effects of Removal of the AER During Limb Development
Gene Inductions: (dorsal) Paraxial Mesoderm K Radical Fringe+ Wnt-7a+ K Lmx-1+ (ventral) Lateral Mesoderm K Engrailed-1 ,, (Limits) Wnt-7a+ Origins of Limb Primordia:
Local effects of FGF on expression of some Hox genes involved in limb development
Zone of Polarizing Activity Localized in the posterior margin of limb bud Specifies polarity of limb field Specifies existence of limb field
ZPA May be (or) induce activity of Sonic hedgehog genes And Hox D genes
