Characterization of Cavin4b/Murcb deficient zebrafish. A. Representative lateral views of murcb^s983/s983 and murcb^s983/+ sibling zebrafish at 10 wpf. Fish in the top panels are females while those in the bottom panels are males. B. Dot plots of body mass and length of 10 wpf wt, murcb^s983/+, and murcb^s983/s983 zebrafish. Length measurements were made from the anterior point to the caudal fin/trunk boundary. Approximately equal numbers of male and female fish were used. The red line represents the mean. ***p<0.0005 C. H&E stain of 10 µm sections prepared from the trunk of 10 wpf murcb^s983/+ and murcb^s983/s983 zebrafish. Two examples of murcb^s983/s983 fish of different sizes are shown. D. Phalloidin staining of 10 µm transverse sections prepared from the trunk of 10 wpf murcb^s983/+ and murcb^s983/s983 zebrafish. E. Trichrome staining of 10 µm transverse sections prepared from the trunk of 12 mpf murcb^s983/+ and murcb^s983/s983 zebrafish. F. Representative lateral views of murcb^s983/+ and murcb^s983/s983 zebrafish at 5 dpf.
