... morphogenesis. In the mouse, the genes of the spontaneous mutations Tabby ( Ta ) and downless ( dl ) were identified as homologs of ED1 and EDAR , respectively. To gain insight into the function of this signaling pathway in development of skin and hair follicles, we analyzed the expression and regulation of Eda...
