The combination of hair follicle-specific marker LHX2 and co-expressed marker can distinguish between sweat gland placodes and hair placodes in rat

Foxa1 mediates eccrine sweat gland development through transcriptional regulation of Na-K-ATPase expression

“…Emerging evidence shows that the Na + /K + -ATPase marker is one of the sweat gland-specific markers ( 29 , 30 ). Indeed, Na + /K + -ATPase has been shown to modulate human sweating during exercise; this is evidenced by the dramatic decrease in sweat rate following topical administration of the Na + /K + -ATPase inhibitor ouabain ( 31 , 32 ). Louie et al ( 33 ) found that Na-K-ATPase is implicated in the regulation of the cutaneous vasodilatory response and sweating during moderate- and high-intensity exercise.…”
