Dlx (gene)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dlx is a family of genes which are related to the Drosophila distal-less (Dll) gene.
The family has been related to a number of developmental features The family seems to be well preserved across specifies[1]
Known members of the family are Dlx1 to Dlx7.
Dlx2 has been associated with a number of areas including development of the Zona limitans intrathalamica and the Prethalamus.
Dlx7 is expressed in bone marrow[2].
