Hox基因及其在软体动物中的研究进展
Hox Genes and Their Research Progresses in Molluscs
摘要
Abstract
The Hox genes are highly conserved and encode a family of transcription factors that play a central role in anterior-posterior axial patterning in animals.Body plan evolution and diversification are affected by variations in the number and sequence of Hox genes, as well as by their expression patterns.Although they have been extensively studied in model organisms, relatively few is known about Hox genes and their functions in molluscs.For the reason that Mollusca is one of the most important groups of protostomes, and characterized by a high body plan diversity, investigation of the related Hox gene and its function is of great significance for understanding and explaining the emergence of morphological diversity in molluscs.Here, we reviewed recent progresses in the investigation of Hox genes and their functions in molluscs, providing an important reference for understanding and further studying the molecular mechanisms of development in molluscs.关键词
