WNT signaling affects gene expression in the ventral diencephalon and pituitary gland growth
(Wiley-Liss, Inc., 2008-04)
We examined the role of WNT signaling in pituitary development by characterizing the pituitary phenotype of three WNT knockout mice and assessing the expression of WNT pathway components. Wnt5a mutants have expanded ...
WNT signaling affects gene expression in the ventral diencephalon and pituitary gland growth
(Wiley-Liss, Inc., 2008-06)
WNT5A deficiency causes pituitary dysmorphology and ectopic melanotrope differentiation. Immunohistochemistry for prohormone convertase 2 (PC2) marks melanotrope cells, which are normally confined to the intermediate lobe ...
