PROX1: a lineage tracer for cortical interneurons originating in the lateral/caudal ganglionic eminence and preoptic area.
The homeobox-encoding gene Prox1 and its Drosophila homologue prospero are key regulators of cell fate-specification.In the developing Knife Care rodent cortex a sparse population of cells thought to correspond to late-generated cortical pyramidal neuron precursors expresses PROX1.Using a series of transgenic mice that mark cell lineages in the sub
