Zebrafish pitx3 is necessary for normal lens and retinal development
The human PITX3 gene encodes a bicoid-like homeodomain transcription factor associated with a variety of congenital ocular conditions, including anterior segment dysgenesis, Peter's anomaly, and cataracts. We identified a zebrafish pitx3 gene encoding a protein (Pitx3) that possesses 63% amino acid identity with human PITX3. The zebrafish pitx3 gene encompasses approximately 16.5kb on chromosom...
متن کاملJagged 1 is necessary for normal mouse lens formation.
In mammals, two spatially and temporally distinct waves of fiber cell differentiation are crucial steps for normal lens development. In between these phases, an anterior growth zone forms in which progenitor cells migrate circumferentially, terminally exit the cell cycle and initiate differentiation at the lens equator. Much remains unknown about the molecular pathways orchestrating these proce...
متن کاملWnt5a is necessary for normal kidney development in zebrafish and mice.
BACKGROUND Wnt5a is important for the development of various organs and postnatal cellular function. Little is known, however, about the role of Wnt5a in kidney development, although WNT5A mutations were identified in patients with Robinow syndrome, a genetic disease which includes developmental defects in kidneys. Our goal in this study was to determine the role of Wnt5a in kidney development....
متن کاملConnexin 48.5 is required for normal cardiovascular function and lens development in zebrafish embryos.
Gap junctions are composed of connexin (Cx) proteins and mediate intercellular communication required for many developmental and physiological processes. Here we describe the isolation and characterization of Cx48.5, a zebrafish connexin with the highest sequence identity to mammalian Cx46. Expression analysis showed that Cx48.5 is expressed in the adult and embryonic lens and heart, adult test...
