Strain ID | TG1132 |
Strain Name | ctsk:nlGFP |
Strain Type | Transgenics |
Characteristics | The ctsk:nlGFP transgenic embryos express GFP in bone resorbing osteoclasts (see To et al., Comp Biochem Physiol C 2015 ). In early embryos, it is also expressed in ctsk positive cells in the head and in the tail fin, which are mesenchymal cells but not osteoclasts. First osteoclasts in the vertebral column appear at 21 days post fertilization. Note that the nuclear localization signal (nl) is leaky and GFP expression is also observed in cytoplasm. |

TG1132-ctsk-nlGFP 3 wpf Lateral view of ctsk:nlGFP medaka at 3 weeks post fertilization. GFP expression is seen in osteoclasts of hemal and neural arches in the vertebral bodies, and in fin rays. Expression at base of fins and in skull might be in cathepsinK-positive cells that are likely not osteoclasts. NOTE that GFP expression is not restricted to nuclei but also found in cytoplasm. |
