tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 2

Species: mouse
Location in mouse genome: chromosome 11, 117853974 - 117908218 (UCSC, assembly October 2003)
Tooth: molar
Method: in situ hybridization (radioactive), probe:


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

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

Bell stage
Expression: dental papilla, dental sac
No expression: stellate reticulum

Late bell (differentiation) stage
