We examined the expression patterns of the two homologous genes, spinal cord-derived growth factor (SCDGF)/platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-C/fallotein and SCDGF-B/PDGF-D in the rat central nervous system. In the spinal cord, SCDGF/PDGF-C/fallotein was expressed in the floor plate at embryonic day (E) 11 and also in the ventricular zone at E16 but not in adult. However, SCDGF-B/PDGF-D was prominently expressed in the adult motoneurons, although faint expression was observed in the ventral ventricular zone at E16. Also in the brain, the expression of SCDGF/PDGF-C/fallotein was more remarkable at E16 than at adult. It was highly expressed in the cortex, pontine area and choroid plexus at E16. Contrary to SCDGF/PDGF-C/fallotein, SCDGF-B/PDGF-D expression was notable in several nuclei at adult.
