Folic Acid 28-38 aristaless-like homeobox 3 Mus musculus 0-4 24639464-7 2014 Moreover, the folic-acid-dependent gene Alx3 is significantly downregulated in Lrp2 mutants. Folic Acid 14-24 aristaless-like homeobox 3 Mus musculus 40-44 20534379-4 2010 We report that folic acid is required in mouse embryos for the specific expression of the homeodomain gene Alx3 in the head mesenchyme, an important tissue for cranial neural tube closure. Folic Acid 15-25 aristaless-like homeobox 3 Mus musculus 107-111 20534379-5 2010 Alx3-deficient mice exhibit increased failure of cranial neural tube closure and increased cell death in the craniofacial region, two effects that are also observed in wild type embryos developing in the absence of folic acid. Folic Acid 215-225 aristaless-like homeobox 3 Mus musculus 0-4 20534379-6 2010 Folic acid cannot prevent these defects in Alx3-deficient embryos, indicating that one mechanism of folic acid action is through induced expression of Alx3. Folic Acid 100-110 aristaless-like homeobox 3 Mus musculus 151-155
