Neural Crest Precursor Molecular Differentiation

Emerging ligands control the specification of neural crest precursors

The progressive determination of neural crest (NC) precursors into different cell lineages is represented in the scheme with a code of colors. Superimposed on this, the collection of new growth factors appearing first in vertebrates is depicted. The role of each ligand in controlling the specification/survival of each particular neural crest derivative is indicated with a corresponding code of colors.

Legend

  • alpha-MSH - alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone
  • End - endothelin
  • GDNF - glial-derived neurotropic factor
  • NTs - neurotropins
  • Nppc - natriuretic peptide precursor
  • Steel - Steel factor, KIT ligand OMIM
