Cluster of genes encoding the major egg envelope protein of zebrafish
4 Dec 2000
Abstract excerpt
The proteins of fish egg envelopes are encoded by genes that are closely related to the genes for human zona pellucida proteins. A cluster of three genes coding for an egg envelope protein was isolated from the zebrafish, Danio rerio. The three genes, zp2a, zp2b, and zp2c, are located within an 11 kb region and are each comprised of eight exons spanning 1.85 kb. The exon-intron structures of the genes are nearly...
