Abstract excerpt
Hedgehog proteins have been implicated in the control of myogenesis in the medial vertebrate somite. In the mouse, normal epaxial expression of the myogenic transcription factor gene myf5 is dependent on Sonic hedgehog. Here we examine in zebrafish the interaction between Hedgehog signals, the expression of myoD family genes, including the newly cloned zebrafish myf5, and slow myogenesis. We show that Sonic...
