In genetics, engrailed is a gene that plays a crucial role in creating the segmented pattern of an organism.
Engrailed proteins are transcription factors that regulate the expression of other genes, helping determine the identity of different body segments.
In Drosophila, the engrailed gene is expressed in stripes in the developing embryo, with each stripe corresponding to a future segment.
Mutations in the engrailed gene can disrupt the normal segmentation pattern, leading to malformations and defects.
