Gene summary for Etv5

#### Gene expression in the soft palate: In the E14.5 soft palate, _Etv5_ is expressed predominantly in the cranial neural crest (CNC)-derived cells in the TVP, PLG and LVP regions. _Etv5_ expression can be also found in myogenic cells, epithelium, mesenchyme surrounding the epithelium, and parts of the pterygoid plate.  In the E16.5 soft palate, the majority of _Etv5_ expression is present in the CNC-derived mesenchyme surrounding the TVP, PLG and LVP myogenic fibers as well as in the myogenic cells. _Etv5_ expression is also observed in the epithelium, parts of the pterygoid plate and mesenchyme closely surrounding the epithelium.  In the E18.5 soft palate, the majority of _Etv5_ expression is present in the CNC-derived mesenchyme surrounding the TVP, PLG and LVP myogenic fibers as well as in the myogenic cells. _Etv5_ expression is also observed in the epithelium, pterygoid plate and mesenchyme closely surrounding the epithelium.   #### Sources: - Janečková et al.
