Figure 2. Divergent expression patterns of Dvl1, Dvl2, and Dvl3 in Xenopus embryos.

Figure 2

(A): Dorsal view of a stage 20 embryo exhibits Dvl1 expression in neural crest, optic placodes, and neural folds. (B): Lateral view of a stage 23 embryo shows continued Dvl1 expression in the streaming cranial neural crest and the developing eye, as well as the otic placodes and the segmenting somites. (C): Lateral view of a stage 29/30 embryo expressing Dvl1 in the somites and in multiple cranial placodes (see Supp Fig. 2). (D): Dorsal view of a stage 22 embryo exhibiting Dvl2 expression in the streaming cranial neural crest, developing eyes, and neural folds. (E): Lateral view of a stage 23 embryo expressing Dvl2 in the otic placodes, neural crest and eyes. (F): Lateral view of a stage 29/30 embryo exhibits Dvl2 staining in the somites, developing eye, and brancial arches. (G): Lateral view of a stage 18 embryo expressing Dvl3 in paraxial mesoderm. (H): Lateral view of a stage 23 embryo exhibits Dvl3 expression in the presomitic mesoderm and developing somitomeres. (I): Lateral view of a stage 35/36 embryo expressing Dvl3 in mature somites, multiple head placodes, and the developing heart.
