Abstract excerpt
Cadherins are calcium-binding transmembrane glycoproteins that are important mediators of cell-cell association. Here we describe a novel member of this gene family, zebrafish ventral neural cadherin (VN-cad). Multiple VN-cad transcripts are first detectable by Northern blots at 60% epiboly. In the developing neural tube, VN-cad RNA is first found in the neuroectoderm, directly above the notochord, and later was...
