Figure 1From: Expression profiles of cIRF6, cLHX6 and cLHX7in the facial primordia suggest specific roles during primary palatogenesisProtein alignments of mouse, chick and human LHX7 (a), LHX6 (b) and IRF6 (c). cLHX7 displays 89% and 95% identity with mouse Lhx7 and human LHX7, respectively. cLHX6 displays 94% identity and 99% similarity to both human LHX6 and mouse Lhx6. cIRF6 displays 83% identity, 99% similarity with human IRF6 and mouse Irf6. Legend: The LIM domains of LHX6/7 and DNA-binding domain of IRF6 are boxed. The homeodomain of LHX6/7 is underlined.Back to article page
