Specimen 3F: embryonic day 10.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: midbrain-hindbrain junction Weak 3F Authors state that expression in the midbrain/hindbrain region appears later and at lower levels than for Fgf8 (see assay MGI:5441280)
TS17: diencephalon Present Regionally restricted 3F Authors report expression in prospective telencephalic commissural plate and infundibulum of hypothalamus.
