Fig. S5. Localization by real-time PCR of <strong>zebrafish</strong> tac3a, tac3b, tac3ra, <strong>and</strong> tac3rb mRNA <strong>in</strong> various tissues. The relative abundances of the mRNAs were<br />
normalized to the amount of elongation factor 1-α (ef1α) by the comparative threshold cycle method, where the comparative threshold reflects the relative<br />
amount of the transcript. Ant. Intest+ panc., anterior <strong>in</strong>test<strong>in</strong>e <strong>and</strong> pancreas; post. Intes, posterior <strong>in</strong>test<strong>in</strong>e. We found low levels of mRNA expression of all<br />
four transcripts <strong>in</strong> the liver, ret<strong>in</strong>a, <strong>and</strong> adipose tissue. However, relatively high mRNA levels of tac3a <strong>and</strong> tac3rb were expressed <strong>in</strong> the gills, tac3a <strong>in</strong> the<br />
posterior <strong>in</strong>test<strong>in</strong>e <strong>and</strong> tac3ra <strong>in</strong> the muscle.<br />
