The murine S8 gene, originally identified by Kongsuwan et al. [EMBO J. 7(1988)2131-2138] encodes a homeodomain which resembles those of the paired family. We studied the expression pattern during mid-gestation embryogenesis of S8 by in situ hybridization. Expression was detected locally in craniofacial mesenchyme, in the limb, the heart and the somites and sclerotomes all along the axis, and was absent from the central and peripheral nervous system, splanchnopleure, and endodermal derivatives. This pattern differs considerably from that of most previously described homeobox containing genes. By genetic analysis, the gene was located on chromosome 2, about 20 cM from the HOX-4 cluster.

D009693 Nucleic Acid Hybridization Widely used technique which exploits the ability of complementary sequences in single-stranded DNAs or RNAs to pair with each other to form a double helix. Hybridization can take place between two complimentary DNA sequences, between a single-stranded DNA and a complementary RNA, or between two RNA sequences. The technique is used to detect and isolate specific sequences, measure homology, or define other characteristics of one or both strands.

D005801 Genes, Homeobox Genes that encode highly conserved TRANSCRIPTION FACTORS that control positional identity of cells (BODY PATTERNING) and MORPHOGENESIS throughout development. Their sequences contain a 180 nucleotide sequence designated the homeobox, so called because mutations of these genes often results in homeotic transformations, in which one body structure replaces another. The proteins encoded by homeobox genes are called HOMEODOMAIN PROTEINS.
