Résumé

We have determined the nucleotide sequence for two cDNA clones coding for a fatty acid binding protein (FABP) from zebrafish (Danio rerio). Comparison of the sequence with GenBank entries revealed extensive amino acid identity between this zebrafish FABP and brain FABPs (B-FABP) from other species. The zebrafish B-FABP cDNA hybridized to single restriction fragments of total zebrafish genomic DNA digested with the restriction endonucleases BglII or EcoRI suggesting that a single copy of the B-FABP gene is present in the zebrafish genome. Northern blot analysis demonstrated that the zebrafish B-FABP mRNA is approximately 850 nucleotides in length. In situ hybridization revealed that the B-FABP mRNA was expressed in the periventricular gray zone of the optic tectum of the adult zebrafish brain. Copyright (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.
