lncRNA Ttc3-209 Promotes the Apoptosis of Retinal Ganglion Cells in Retinal Ischemia Reperfusion Injury by Targeting the miR-484/Wnt8a Axis.
Title: lncRNA Ttc3-209 Promotes the Apoptosis of Retinal Ganglion Cells in Retinal Ischemia Reperfusion Injury by Targeting the miR-484/Wnt8a Axis.
Caudal Wnt8a is expressed only early somite stages. It is needed for normal anterior trunk development in the absence of Wnt3a. Wnt8a and Wnt3a cooperate to maintain Fgf8 expression and stop premature Sox2 up-regulation in the axial stem cell niche.
Title: Wnt8a and Wnt3a cooperate in the axial stem cell niche to promote mammalian body axis extension.
Wnt8a expression depends on the presence of Fgf3 indicating a serial regulation between Fgf and Wnt signalling during otic placode induction and specification.
Title: Roles of Wnt8a during formation and patterning of the mouse inner ear.
demonstrate that both the enlargement of the otic placode and the expansion of the Wnt8a expression domain can be rescued in Spry1/; Spry2/ embryos by reducing the gene dosage of Fgf10
Title: Sprouty1 and Sprouty2 limit both the size of the otic placode and hindbrain Wnt8a by antagonizing FGF signaling.
FGF signaling regulates otic placode induction and refinement by controlling both ectodermal target genes and hindbrain Wnt8a.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
