Cloning and expression of chodl. A, Domain analysis of the chodl sequence predicts the presence of a signal peptide, a C-type lectin domain and a transmembrane domain. B, The predicted amino acid sequence of chodl shows conservation with chodl of other vertebrates (m, mouse; h, human; c, chicken; x, Xenopus laevis). C–H, Whole-mount in situ hybridization indicates a signal from 12 hpf. The arrows depict the trigeminal ganglion in D–H. The arrowheads in D indicate cells in the trunk. The arrowheads in F indicate a row of cells in the trunk dorsal to the motor neurons. In H, the arrowheads point to motor neurons. Scale bar, 500 μm.
