Isolation and expression of a novel member of the CITED family

Abstract

Chicken CITED3 (cCITED3) is a novel gene, which is expressed in the pre-somitic mesoderm, the mesonephric tubules, the Wolffian ducts and collecting tubules of the developing urogenital system and in the cranial sensory ganglia. Sequence analysis revealed that cCITED3 encodes a protein which contains two conserved domains that have been described for members of the CITED family.
