Regulatory Elements, Protein Function and Evolution of the Actinodin Genes

Small fibrils termed actinotrichia are involved with the growth and structure of the fin fold during fin development in fish. The actinodin (and) genes are required for actinotrichia formation, and the loss of these genes from the genomes of tetrapods has been implicated in the tetrapod-specific los...
