Defining the gene repertoire and spatiotemporal expression profiles of adhesion G protein-coupled receptors in zebrafish

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Adhesion G protein-coupled receptors (aGPCRs) are the second largest of the five GPCR families and are essential for a wide variety of physiological processes. Zebrafish have proven to be a very effective model for studying the biological functions of aGPCRs in both developmental and adult contexts. However, aGPCR repertoires have not been defined in any fish species, nor are aGPCR expression profiles...
