brain | caspase-9 is highly expressed in tadpole brain during metamorphosis. Caspase-9 mRNA is expressed mainly in the ventricular area, a site of neuroblast proliferation. Caspase-9, a key members of the mitochondrial death pathway, is implicated in controlling the proliferative status of neuroblasts in the metamorphosing Xenopus brain. Modification of the expression during the critical period of metamorphosis alters the outcome of metamorphic neurogenesis, resulting in a modified brain phenotype in juvenile Xenopus | Xenopus laevis | - |
