| abstractText | Vinexin, a recently identified cytoskeletal protein, contains three SH3 domains and plays important roles in regulation of cytoskeletal organization and signal transduction. Using whole-mount in situ hybridization, we showed here that expression of vinexin alpha, the longer vinexin transcript, is strictly regulated, although the shorter transcript, vinexin beta, is expressed almost ubiquitously during embryonic development in mice. Expression of vinexin alpha was limited to within part of the eye and heart in 10.5 dpc embryos. Analysis of cryosections of 10.5 dpc embryos showed that vinexin alpha was expressed in a dorsal half of the retinal pigment epithelium and in the outflow tract and atrioventricular canal of the heart. Furthermore, we also found that vinexin alpha was expressed in the gonad and in a ventral part of the pons of 12.5 dpc embryos. These results indicated that the expression of vinexin alpha is strictly regulated in a temporally and spatially restricted manner. |
