One well-studied signaling center in the developing vertebrate limb, the zone of polarizing activity (ZPA), produces the morphogen sonic hedgehog that is necessary for normal growth and pattern formation. To identify additional factors expressed in the ZPA of the mouse limb bud, the Shhgfpcre allele was used to purify ZPA cells using fluorescence-activated cell sorting. Microarray technology was then used to identify genes whose expression was elevated in the ZPA compared to the rest of the limb ...[more]
