Prox1 is an early specific marker for the developing liver and pancreas in the mammalian foregut endoderm
Open accessAbstract
Although important progress has been made recently in the elucidation of the molecular mechanisms that regulate differentiation and morphogenesis of endoderm-derived tissues such as pancreas and liver, less is known about the preliminary steps of early regional specification. Recent evidence supports the proposal that the early endoderm contains a bipotential precursor cell type for pancreas and liver. We have also previously shown that the activity of the homeobox gene Prox1 controls hepatocyte migration during liver morphogenesis. Using detailed comparative analysis of whole embryos and reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction of dissected embryonic endoderm, we have now determined that in the early endoderm, Prox1 expression is restricted to regions giving rise to the mammalian pancreas and liver. This finding indicates that Prox1 is one of the earliest specific markers of this commonly fated region of the mammalian endoderm.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
