Abstract excerpt
IGF2BPs, a subclass of RNA-binding proteins, regulate cellular differentiation, proliferation and migration during multiple organs development, but their functions in liver development still remain unclear. Here, in this study, whole-mount in situ hybridization showed that igf2bp1 was constantly and stably expressed at early stages of embryo development in zebrafish. Both the morpholino-induced knockdown and...
