Identification of <i>kit-ligand a</i> as the Gene Responsible for the Medaka Pigment Cell Mutant <i>few melanophore</i>

2019-07-24

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> 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 l...
