Gene summary for Gli2

### Gene expression in the mandibular and maxillary arches _Gli2_ is expressed in the mesenchyme of the maxillary and mandibular arches at E10.5. In the mandibular arch, the most proximal region does not express Gli2. At E12.5, it is expressed in the osteogenic and odontogenic mesenchyme of maxilla and mandible. At E14.5, Gli2 is expressed in differentiated osteoblasts of maxilla and mandible, oral mesenchyme of the palate, tooth mesenchyme, and tongue. | E10.5 | E12.5 | E14.5 | |-------|-------|-------| | {width=190 height=145} | {width=190 height=145} | {width=190 height=145} | |  Maxillary mesenchyme and |  Maxillary and mandibular |  Differentiated osteoblasts | | distal mandibular mesenchyme | mesenchyme | in mandible and maxilla | | | |  Oral palatal mesenchyme | | | |  Tooth mesenchyme | #### Sources: - Bai CB et al., Development. 2001 Dec;128(24):5161-72. - Gray PA et al., Science. 2004 Dec 24;306(5705):2255-7. - Hardcastle Z, et al., Development. 1998 Aug;125(15):2803-11 - Hui CC, et al., Dev Biol. 1994 Apr;162(2):402-13 - Mo R, et al., Development. 1997 Jan;124(1):113-23 - Rice R, et al., Gene Expr Patterns. 2006 Jan;6(2):206-12 - Unpublished data from [Chai's Lab, University of Southern California.](http://face.usc.edu/).
