The slc4a2b gene is required for hair cell development in zebrafish
slc4a2b knockdown leads to decreased lateral line neuromasts in zebrafish. Zebrafish larvae at 72 hpf and the eya1 RNA probe were used in the WISH analysis. (A, B) slc4a2b-morphants (MO) (B) had fewer neuromasts (indicated by red arrows) compared to the controls (A). (C) Quantification of the number of the posterior lateral line neuromasts in slc4a2b-morphants and controls. ***P < 0.001.
