Abstract
Teleost fish fins are supported by spear-shaped collagen crystals called actinotrichia. Actinotrichia are distributed radially at the distal end of the fins and thought to be necessary for proper formation of the fin and fin-bones. We previously reported that collagen9a1c ( col9a1c ) gene product is essential for the regular arrangement of actinotrichia using col9a1c -knockout zebrafish. Here, we examined the localization pattern of the EGFP-tagged Col9a1c protein in the fins to understand its role in the arrangement of actinotrichia. We found that EGFP-Col9a1c specifically localizes to actinotrichia.
