Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: NEUROG3 is a key regulator of pancreatic endocrine cell differentiation in mouse, essential for the generation of all mature hormone producing cells. It is repressed by Notch signaling that prevents pancreatic cell differentiation by maintaining precursors in an undifferentiated state. RESULTS: We show that, in zebrafish, neurog3 is not expressed in the pancreas and null neurog3 mutant embryos do not...
