fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 III b; Kgfr

Species: mouse
Tooth: lower molar and incisor
Method: in situ hybridization (radioactive), probe: 150b,139b


Initiation stage
Expression: oral epithelium, dental epithelium

Bud stage
Expression: oral epithelium, dental epithelium
No expression: dental mesenchyme

Cap stage
Expression: oral epithelium, outer enamel epithelium, stellate reticulum
No expression: inner enamel epithelium, enamel knot, dental papilla, dental sac

Bell stage
Expression: oral epithelium, outer enamel epithelium, stratum intermedia, stellate reticulum
No expression: inner enamel epithelium, dental papilla, dental sac

Late bell
(differentiation) stage
Expression: outer enamel epithelium, stratum intermedia, stellate reticulum, preameloblasts

Tooth development is arrested in transgenic mice expressing soluble Fgf-receptor ( Celli et al 1998).
