Papp-aa is highly expressed in NaR cells.

(A) Tg(igfbp5a:GFP) fish were raised in E3 embryo medium to 3 days post fertilization (dpf) and transferred to embryo media containing the indicated [Ca2+]. Eighteen hours later, NaR cells were …

Genetic deletion of papp-aa impairs NaR cell proliferation, but has no effect on HR and NCC cells.

(A) Progeny of papp-aa+/- intercrosses were treated as described in Figure 2A. NaR cells were visualized by trpv6 mRNA mRNA in situ hybridization. Scale bar = 0.1 mm. (B–C) Progeny of papp-aa+/-

Genetic deletion of papp-ab has no effect on NaR cell proliferation.

The experimental design is the same as described in Figure 2A. NaR cells were labeled by igfbp5a mRNA expression and quantified followed by individual genotyping afterwards. n = 10 ~ 26 fish/group.

Papp-aa proteinase activity is in NaR cells critical.

(A–B) Progeny of papp-aa+/-;Tg(igfbp5a:GFP) intercrosses were injected with BAC(igfbp5a:mCherry) containing the indicated gene. They were subjected to the low [Ca2+] stress test described in Figure …
