The specification of the motor neuron subtypes that innervate digits is not well understood. Limb-innervating motor neuron specification is influenced by retinoic acid, the synthesis of which is regulated by specific expression patterns of homeobox (HOX) transcription factors and their cofactor FOXP1 (forkhead box protein
