✦ Synopsis

We have isolated and characterized motoneurons and transcripts can be detected shortly the zebrafish ortholog of c-ret, a gene essential for renal before the expression of the CaP-specific gene, islet2. We organogenesis and enteric nervous system development suggest that c-ret may play a role in specifying CaP in mammals. During zebrafish embryogenesis c-ret trancell identity. c-ret is expressed at low levels in the other scripts are expressed in a number of tissues including primary motoneurons and also in a subset of secondary spinal motoneurons, pronephric ducts, cranial ganglia, motoneurons, suggesting that it may also play a broader pharyngeal arches, and the enteric nervous system. We role in motoneuronal survival or maintenance. ᭧ 1997 have examined in detail the expression of c-ret during
