General Information

Term

proximal/distal pattern formation

ID (Ontology)

GO:0009954 (Gene Ontology)

Definition

The regionalization process in which specific areas of cell differentiation are determined along a proximal/distal axis. The proximal/distal axis is defined by a line that runs from main body (proximal end) of an organism outward (distal end).
