    <p>(<b>A–D′</b>) <i>In situ</i> signal of <i>caln1</i> transcript in 2dpf (A–D) and 4dpf (A′–D′) larvae. Lateral (A,C–A′,C′) and dorsal views (B,D–B′D′). (E) Higher magnification shows specific staining in the dorsal spinal cord probably in Rohon Beard cells. (A′–D′) 4dpf whole mount embryos show diffuse signal in the brain and a specific expression in what is most probably the head of the pronephric ducts. (F) A transverse section through the retina shows expression in the retinal ganglion cell layer. Scale bar: 50 µm. SC neurons: spinal cord neurons, P: pallium; DT: dorsal thalamus; PD: pronephric duct; GCL: ganglion cell layer.</p

    <p>(<b>A–D′</b>) mRNA expression of <i>caln2</i> in lateral (A,C–A′,C′) and dorsal (B,D–B′D′) views of 2dpf (A–D) and 4dpf (A′–D′) larvae with zoom in (C,D–C′,D′). The onset of <i>caln1</i> expression takes place within the first two days of embryonic development. (A–D) At 2dpf the <i>caln1</i> transcript localizes to the forebrain at the level of the subpallial region and in the caudal midbrain. (A-‘D’) The same expression profile seems to be maintained until day 4 of development. (E) Transverse section of the retina showing signal of <i>caln1</i> antisense probe in a subset of retinal ganglion cells in the central part of the ganglion cell layer. Strongly stained cells are present in the region of the telencephalic pallial domain (F). Scale bar: 50 µm. P: pallium; DT: dorsal thalamus; T: midbrain tegmentum; GCL: ganglion cell layer; Sd: dorsal division of subpallium; Sv: ventral division of subpallium.</p

    Phylogenetic analysis of the Calcium binding protein family in zebrafish.

    No full text
    <p>A) The phylogenetic tree of all human and zebrafish Calcium binding protein family members based on protein sequence. For all members there exist two paralogs in zebrafish per human paralog. <i>Cabp7</i> and <i>calneuron</i> (<i>cabp8</i>) form a separate subfamily (brown shading). B) Domain structure of CaBP4b as predicted by ExPasy (<a href="http://www.expasy.org" target="_blank">www.expasy.org</a>). C) Protein alignment of the two EF domains of the human CaBP4 protein, the known zebrafish ortholog (<i>cabp4a</i>) and its newly discovered paralog (<i>cabp4b</i>). The blue color represents the Blosum62 score; high similarities are in dark blue while lower similarities are indicated in light blue. The first EF-Hand domain shows a higher degree of conservation than the second one.</p
