A zebrafish homologue of the chemokine receptor Cxcr4 is a germ-cell guidance receptor.

Nature - 16 Jan 2003

Abstract excerpt

Germ cells preserve an individual's genetic information and transmit it to the next generation. Early in development germ cells are set aside and undergo a specialized developmental programme, a hallmark of which is the migration from their site of origin to the future gonad. In Drosophila, several factors have been identified that control germ-cell migration to their target tissues; however, the germ-cell...
