Abstract excerpt
Hoxb8 has been suggestively implicated in the formation of the zone of polarizing activity (ZPA) in the limb bud. However, as hoxb8-/- mice did not show any defects in their limb development, the role of Hoxb8 during limb development has not been fully elucidated. Here, we report the identification of the medaka hoxb8a mutant, unextended-fin (ufi), in which all the fin tissues were malformed. Since the abnormal...
