CRP2 transcript expression pattern in embryonic chick limb.

Members of the cysteine-rich protein (CRP) family are evolutionary conserved proteins that have been implicated in the processes of cell proliferation and differentiation via the cytoskeletal proteins. In this paper, we present the dynamic expression pattern of CPR2 transcripts during chick limb bud development. CRP2 transcripts are located in various tissues, including muscle, arteries, cartilage, ligaments and digit tendons and also in the apical ectodermal ridge and feather buds.
