The expression patterns of BNIP1 (A–C), BNIP3 (D–F) and BNIP3L (G–I) in developing embryos (E16, A, D, G), post-natal day 12 (P12, B, E, and H) and adult (C, F, and I) brains. Embryos were parasagitally cut, and post-natal/adult brains were horizontally cut. At least two independent sections from different individuals were examined, and typical images are shown. The abbreviations used are as follows: ge, ganglion eminence; Lv, liver; sc, superior colliculus; sp, spinal cord; cbll, cerebellum; Gro, granule cell layer of olfactory bulb; hab, habenular nuclei; dg, dentate gyrus of hippocampal formation; oe, olfactory epithelia; ht, heart; ent, entorhinal cortex; M/T, mitral/tufted cell layer of olfactory bulb; ca1, CA1 region of hippocampus; ca3, CA3 region of hippocampus.
