Protocadherin-1 is expressed in the notochord of mouse embryo but is dispensable for its formation
Notochord is an embryonic midline structure that serves as mechanical support for axis elongation and the signaling center for the surrounding tissues.Precursors of notochord are initially induced in the dorsal most mesoderm region in gastrulating embryo and separate from balance bikes the surrounding mesoderm/endoderm tissue to form an elongated r
