expression of Barx2 in the gut

Barx2 is a member of the Bar class of homeobox genes and has been shownto regulate specific cell adhesion molecules, L1, Ng-CAM, N-CAM, and cadherin 6. By North-ern blotting and in situ hybridization, we show that Barx2 is expressed throughout the gutand is located in epithelial cells of the proliferative and differentiative regions of the stom-ach, esophagus, and ..
