Expression of Wnt6 in mouse tooth

wingless-related MMTV integration site 6

Species: mouse
Location in mouse genome: chromosome 1, 76353189 - 76366337 (UCSC, assembly October 2003)
Tooth: molar
Method: in situ hybridization (radioactive), probe:


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

EDA expression in epithelium was induced by Wnt6 expressing cells (Laurikkala et al 2001). See expression of Eda.

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

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

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