Abstract
The members of the FoxE subfamily of Fox (forkhead) genes are expressed in the developing pituitary, thyroid and lens. Mammalian Foxe1 is expressed primarily in the developing pituitary and thyroid gland, Foxe3 is expressed in the developing lens, while Xenopus FoxE4 is expressed in the developing lens and thyroid. Here we report the identification of Xenopus FoxE1, a gene that is primarily expressed in the developing pituitary and thyroid.
