Zebrafish wnt3 is the orthologue of other vertebrate Wnt3 genes. A: Sequence conservation of the deduced amino acid sequence for zebrafish Wnt3, comparing mouse Wnt3 (mWnt3, top), human WNT3 (hWNT3, second from top), zebrafish Wnt3l (zWnt3l, second from bottom), and mouse Wnt3a (mWnt3a) bottom. B: Phylogenetic analysis of zWnt3 compared to similar genes in zebrafish mouse and human. zWnt3 clusters with known human and mouse Wnt3 genes, whereas zwnt3l clusters with mWnt3a. mWnt8a was used as the outgroup. Numbers indicate bootstrap confidences at branch points. C: Conservation of synteny between Wnt3 genes in human, mouse, fugu, and zebrafish. The Nsf gene is the nearest 3'-neighbor in all four species.
