Fig. 6

Zebrafish Cx30.3 proteins expressed in the cell membrane of hair cells of adult inner ear. Zebrafish Cx30.3 protein is expressed in the cell membrane of hair cells of the adult inner ear. Confocal images of sections from the adult inner ear that were immunostained with antibodies against zebrafish Cx30.3, acetylated tubulin (a hair cell marker) and pan-cadherin (a cell membrane marker) are displayed. The Cx30.3 protein, indicated by yellow arrows, is expressed at higher levels in supporting cells (SC) than in hair cells (HC) of maculae (A-D). In addition, the Cx30.3 protein localized to the cell membrane of hair cells (E-H). Sections from the adult inner ear were counterstained with DAPI to highlight the nuclei. Scale bars represent 10 µm. (For interpretation of the references to color in this figure legend, the reader is referred to the web version of this article.)
