Abstract excerpt

Opsin genes are expressed in a cell type-specific manner in the retina and the pineal organ for visual and nonvisual photoreceptive purposes, but the regulatory mechanism behind the tissue and cell selectivity is not well understood. In this study, we focus on the expression regulation of the blue-sensitive opsin gene SWS2 of zebrafish by taking a transgenic approach using the green fluorescence protein as an...
