Abstract
⺠The parathyroid glands originate from the Gcm2-expressing caudal pharyngeal pouches. ⺠Fish, chick and mouse show highly reduced Shh signalling where Gcm2 is expressed. ⺠During early development, HH signalling reduction results in the loss of chick Gcm2. ⺠Later on, it induces ectopic Gcm2 in the second and first pharyngeal epithelium. ⺠A conserved regulatory mechanism of Gcm2 by HH signalling defines pouch derivatives.
