Researchers have shown that the various regions of the developing eye are specified by different transcription factors whose expression is induced by the adjacent tissues.Chx10 is one such factor that is required for the development of the neural retina.What growth factor regulates its expression?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The growth factor that regulates the expression of Chx10 is Fgf (fibroblast growth factor). Fgf signals from the optic vesicle induce Chx10 expression in the overlying surface ectoderm, which then induces the formation of the neural retina.
