The minimal gap-junction network among melanophores and xanthophores required for stripe pattern formation in zebrafish.

Development (Cambridge, England) - 15 Nov 2019

Abstract excerpt

Connexin 39.4 (Cx39.4) and connexin 41.8 (Cx41.8), two gap-junction proteins expressed in both melanophores and xanthophores, are crucial for the intercellular communication among pigment cells that is necessary for generating the stripe pigment pattern of zebrafish. We have previously characterized the gap-junction properties of Cx39.4 and Cx41.8, but how these proteins contribute to stripe formation remains...
