Differential expression of the Wnt putative receptors Frizzled during mouse somitogenesis

Mech Dev. 1999 Dec;89(1-2):173-7. doi: 10.1016/s0925-4773(99)00205-1.

Abstract

The expression of eight murine Frizzled (1,3-9) genes was studied during mouse somitogenesis, in order to correlate the Wnt-dependent activation of myogenesis with the expression of specific Frizzled putative receptors. Frizzled 1, 3, 6, 7, 8, and 9 have specific expression in the forming and differentiating somites. The genes analyzed have a complex and partly overlapping pattern of expression in other regions of the embryo.
