High impact information on Sp9

  • We show that two closely related buttonhead-like zinc-finger transcription factors, Sp8 and Sp9, are expressed in the AER, and regulate Fgf8 expression and limb outgrowth [1].
  • Embryological and genetic analyses have revealed that Sp8 and Sp9 are ectodermal targets of Fgf10 signaling from the mesenchyme [1].
  • We also found that Wnt/beta-catenin signaling positively regulates Sp8, but not Sp9 [1].
