Figure Caption

Fig. 5 Fig. 5. TRAP and AP activity is elevated in the jaws of ace^ti282a/+ zebrafish. A greater proportion of the lower jaw was TRAP positive in ace^ti282a/+ animals relative to homozygous wild-types siblings (A, B, F, F-ratio = 30.6, p < 0.001). Ace^ti282a/+ zebrafish also exhibited greater AP actively, localized to the anterior portion of the low jaw (C, D, G, F-ratio = 7.24, p = 0.01). The higher levels of both TRAP and AP activity observed in the mandibles of ace^ti282a/+ zebrafish are consistent with the occurrence of aberrant and ectopic bone formation (arrowhead and arrow, respectively, in panel E).
