KIF22 is highly expressed in proliferating-zone chondrocytes of the growth plate

(A) qPCR analysis of Kif22 mRNA in various organs and tissues of 5-week-old mice. Data are represented as mean ± SD; n = 3. Other statical data were shown in Table S1.

(B) Immunofluorescent staining of KIF22 at the growth plate of tibia from 2-week-old mice. The proliferating zone (PZ) and hypertrophic zone (HZ) of the growth plate are indicated. Scale bar, 100 μm.

(C) Immunofluorescent staining of KIF22 at the growth plate of tibia from 2-week-old mice. Images of articular cartilage, subarticular subchondral bone, trabecular bone below under the growth plate, and cortical bone.
