Identification of kit-ligand a as the Gene Responsible for the Medaka Pigment Cell Mutant few melanophore.

G3 (Bethesda, Md.) - 7 Jan 2020

Otsuki Yuji, Okuda Yuki, Naruse Kiyoshi, Saya Hideyuki

Abstract excerpt

The body coloration of animals is due to pigment cells derived from neural crest cells, which are multipotent and differentiate into diverse cell types. Medaka (Oryzias latipes) possesses four distinct types of pigment cells known as melanophores, xanthophores, iridophores, and leucophores. The few melanophore (fm) mutant of medaka is characterized by reduced numbers of melanophores and leucophores. We here...
