Numerous genes are expressed and regulated during the development of the pancreas in zebrafish embryos, and the mechanism is currently being researched. Although the cellular locations and times of pdx-1 and insulin expression are known in the developing pancreas, less is known about other genes such as foxa3. This project analyzed foxa3 temporal and spatial expression using a GFP reporter under the control of the foxa3 promoter.
