Abstract
During a differential display-based screen for developmentally regulat ed genes in zebrafish, we have isolated a cDNA for zebrafish cathepsin L. termed cart. The gene shows abundant expression in the anteriormos t cells of the head process which give rise to the polster and later t o the hatching gland. Expression of catL persists in these tissues unt il hatching. carL thus provides a useful marker for very anterior mese ndodermal structures in zebrafish.
