High impact information on fabp7a

The deduced amino acid sequence of FABP7B encoded by the zebrafish fabp7b gene shares 82% identity with that of FABP7A encoded by the zebrafish fabp7a gene [1].
Whole-mount in situ hybridization showed that the zebrafish fabp7a transcripts were distributed in the early developing central nervous system [1].

Biological context of fabp7a

The zebrafish fabp7b gene spans 1479 bp and consists of four exons encoding 24, 58, 34 and 16 amino acids, respectively, which is identical to the structure of the fabp7a gene previously described [1].
