Abstract excerpt
Members of the Slit family regulate axon guidance and cell migration. To date, three vertebrate slit1 genes have been identified in mammals and orthologs of two, slit2 and slit3, have been identified in zebrafish. Here, we describe the cloning of full-length cDNAs for two zebrafish slit orthologs, slit1a and slit1b. Both predicted proteins contain the conserved motifs that characterize other vertebrate Slits....
