Fig. 5. Exogenous RA disrupts cyp26b1 and cyp26c1 expression
in cyp26a1-/- embryos but not in wild type.
cyp26b1 (A-D) and cyp26c1 (E-H) expression
(blue) is established normally in wild-type (A,E) and
cyp26a1-/- (B,F) embryos at the 6-somite stage (12 hpf).
cyp26b1 and cyp26c1 expression is also established normally
in wild-type embryos treated with a sub-teratogenic concentration of RA (5 nM;
C,G), but not in cyp26a1-/- embryos treated with 5 nM RA
(D,H). krox20 expression is shown in red.
