Members of the Hox gene family of transcriptional regulators are believed to play essential roles in hair follicle differentiation, although little is known about the molecular mechanisms mediating these putative control functions. Transgenic mice overexpressing Hoxc13 in hair follicles (GC13 mice) exhibit complex phenotypic alterations including hair shaft defects and alopecia, as well as severe epidermal abnormalities. To identify some of the genetic pathways affected by Hoxc13 overexpression ...[more]
