Expression of a Mutant kcnj2 Gene Transcript in Zebrafish
Figure 3
Gross morphology of somites of 26 hpf embryos expressing Δ95–98 kcnj2-12, WT kcnj2-12, and combined Δ95–98 and WT kcnj2-12 proteins under differential interference phase contrast (DIC) microscopy. (a) and (b) The somites of empty plasmid and uninjected control embryos. (c), (e) and (g) Embryos over-expressing different kcnj2-12 proteins that were able to perform a full coil. (d), (f) and (h) Embryos over-expressing different kcnj2-12 proteins that were not able to perform a full coil. The black dashed lines outline the myosepta between two somites to show the overall shape, and the black arrowheads indicate other visible myosepta boundaries.
