Zebrafish Otolith Biomineralization Requires Polyketide Synthase

2018-08-20

Abstract excerpt

Deflecting biomineralized crystals attached to vestibular hair cells are necessary for maintaining balance. Zebrafish ( Danio rerio ) are useful organisms to study these biomineralized crystals called otoliths, as many required genes are homologous to human otoconial development. We sought to identify and characterize the causative gene in a trio of mutants, no content (nco) and corkscrew (csr) , and vanished...
