Axl-4 is a homeodomain protein that is expressed on a variety of tissues including osteoblast precursors, dermal papilla of hair and whisker follicles, dental papilla of teeth, and mesenchymal cells. This protein functions as a transcriptional activator at epithelial-mesenchymal interfaces. Mouse Monoclonal Anti-Alx-4 antibody binds to human AXL-4.

We have recently demonstrated that the retinoblastoma family of negative cell cycle regulators can form complexes with a class of developmental factors which contain paired-like (PL) homeodomains (Wiggan et al. [1998] Oncogene 16:227-236). Our screens led to the isolation of
Homeodomain containing transcription factors serve important functions in patterning the embryo during vertebrate development. We have isolated cDNA clones encoding a novel protein, named Alx-4, that contains a paired-type homeodomain. Analysis of the homeodomain sequence shows that Alx-4 belongs to
Hepatocyte Growth Factor (HGF) and its protooncogene receptor c-Met regulate osteoclast function by activating pp60(c-Src) kinase and alpha(v)beta3 integrin. HGF causes transcription yet in osteoclast cells, this gene regulation is currently unknown. To begin characterization of HGF-regulated gene expression in
