Abstract excerpt
Recently, we cloned a photoreceptor-specific purpurin cDNA from axotomized goldfish retina. In the present study, we investigate the structure of zebrafish purpurin genomic DNA and its function during retinal development. First, we cloned a 3.7-kbp genomic DNA fragment including 1.4-kbp 5'-flanking region and 2.3-kbp full-length coding region. In the 1.4-kbp 5'-upstream region, there were some cone-rod homeobox...
