Abstract
The winged-helix/forkhead transcription factor gene, foxn4, is expressed in the nervous system of developing and adult zebrafish. Prominent expression sites include the olfactory placode, the basal layer of the olfactory epithelium, the neuroepithelium of the developing retina, the germinal zone of the differentiated eye, regions of motoneuron development in the neural tube and periventricular regions of the brain. The adult thymus is the only major site of foxn4 expression outside of the nervous system.
