Knock-down of pantothenate kinase 2 severely affects the development of the nervous and vascular system in zebrafish, providing new insights into PKAN disease
文摘

Zebrafish pank2 gene is highly expressed in the CNS and the main vascular structures.

Pank2 down-regulation severely affects the development of the forebrain.

Pank2 down-regulation affects the dorsal aorta, caudal vein and inter-somitic vessels.

Pantethine and Coenzyme A restore the normal development in the absence of pank2 expression.
