In addition, SHH and
FGF8 when administered simultaneously induce the expression of dopamine-related proteins [38, 39].

Fgf8 is required for outgrowth and patterning of the limbs," Nature Genetics, vol.
FGF8 is expressed during specific phases of rodent oocyte and spermatogonium development.
In addition, neurotrophic factors such as SHH and
FGF8 have been known to be critical for the specification and development of a neuronal subtype [29, 30].
A proportion of mice with a heterozygous disruption of their
FGF8 gene showed a less severe phenotype than did those with a homozygous disruption, and the former phenotype was observed in the first branchial arch on only one side of the head [15].
Armfield and colleagues zeroed in on two proteins, BMP4 (Bone Morphogenetic Protein 4) and
FGF8 (Fibroblast Growth Factor 8).
One of the FGF family, polymorphisms in the
FGF8 is associated with carcass quality, growth and feed efficiency in beef cattle (Moore and Marques, 2008).

Recientemente se reporto la expresion de
FGF8, un factor de crecimiento involucrado en el desarrollo embrionario de la union miotendinosa, en condilos de ratas, pero no se ha demostrado su secrecion por parte del musculo esqueletico (56, 57) (tabla 2).
Shh expression occurs downstream of
Fgf8 and Fgf9, is regulated by Bmp4, and is responsible for regulating Bmp2 [Zhao et al., 2000; Thesleff et al., 2001].
