Dlx4 is a member of a family of homeobox genes with homology to Drosophila distal-less (dll) gene. We show that Dlx4 expression pattern partially overlaps with its cis-linked gene Dlx3 during mouse development as well as in neonatal and adult skin. In mice, Dlx4 is expressed in the branchial arches, embryonic limbs, digits, nose, hair follicle and in the basal and suprabasal layers of mouse interfollicular epidermis. We show that inactivation of Dlx4 in mice did not result in any overtly gross p ...[more]
