Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In addition to shootin1, we found two novel shootin family members (shootin 2 and shootin 3). All three shootin genes were expressed in zebrafish embryos. In particular, shootin 1 and shootin 3 were expressed maternally and were expressed in the lateral line primordia in developing zebrafish embryos. Mutant analysis suggests that shootin 3 is involved in the early embryonic development and that shootin 1 and shootin 3 are involved in the formation of lateral lines, which are organs that sense water flow.
