Abstract excerpt
The floor plate of the neural tube serves an important function as a source of signals that pattern cell fates in the nervous system as well as directing proper axon pathfinding. We have cloned a novel zebrafish wnt family member, wnt4b, which is expressed exclusively in the floor plate. To place wnt4b in the context of known regulators of midline development, its expression was analyzed in the zebrafish mutants...
