Sequence and embryonic expression of collagen XVIII NC1 domain (endostatin) in the zebrafish.

Endostatin, located in the NC1 domain of the collagen XVIII, is believed to inhibit the migration and proliferation of endothelial cells (Fed. Am. Soc.

Structure and spatio temporal expression of the full length DNA complementary to RNA coding for alpha2 type I collagen of zebrafish.

Twenty distinct genetic types of collagen have been identified up to now. Their structure and function are not completely elucidated. We have chosen zebrafish as a model to bring information about the role of collagen during embryogenesis.
