Abstract excerpt
The zebrafish ftz-f1 gene, ff1b, is activated in two cell clusters lateral to the midline in the trunk during late embryogenesis. These cell clusters coalesce to form a discrete organ at around 30 hpf, which then begins to acquire a steroidogenic identity as evidenced by the expression of the steroidogenic enzyme genes, cyp11a and 3beta-hsd. The migration of the cell clusters to the midline is impaired in...
