High impact information on crestin

Cell counts of crestin-expressing premigratory trunk neural crest cells strongly suggest that crestin is expressed by all neural crest cells at this stage [1].
We report here a detailed description of crestin mRNA expression during zebrafish embryogenesis [1].
Zebrafish crestin was identified in a screen for genes dependent on cyclops function and is a member of a family of retroelements (Rubinstein et al. [2000] Genesis 26:86-97) [1].
Crestin expression was first observed during the onset of somitogenesis in cells of the neural crest domain of the ectoderm [1].

Other interactions of crestin

The first gene, crestin, is expressed predominantly in premigratory and migrating neural crest cells during somitogenesis stages. crestin expression is reduced in cyc mutants initially but recovers by late somitogenesis [2].
