Abstract excerpt
We previously identified and characterized four galectin-1-like proteins in zebrafish, Drgal1-L1, Drgal1-L2, Drgal1-L3, and one splice variant of Drgal1-L2, of distinct ontogenic expression. Drgal1-L1 is maternal; Drgal1-L2 is zygotic and strongly expressed in the notochord, while Drgal1-L3 is both maternal and zygotic. Knockdown experiments in zebrafish embryos using a morpholino-modified antisense oligo...
