dlx3b
Developmental stage
Expressed during gastrulation, and shortly after gastrulation is expressed by presumptive precursor cells of the olfactory placodes, overlapping subsets of cells in the auditory vesicle, cells of the median fin fold, and cells of the visceral arches and their primordia.
Function
Involved in the development of the inner ear.
Sequence Similarities
Belongs to the distal-less homeobox family.
Tissue Specificity
Expressed in the developing forebrain and fins.
