Embryonic gene expression pattern for the three rxfp2 genes by RT-PCR analysis. The different embryonic stages are indicated on top as hours post fertilization. Amplification of rplp0 cDNA was used as a control of RT-PCR sensitivity in the assay. B and O indicate cDNA obtained by retrotranscription of RNA extracted from adult zebrafish brain and ovary respectively. C indicates the negative PCR control reaction lacking cDNA template.
