S lc45a2 and V‐ATP ase are regulators of melanosomal p H homeostasis in zebrafish, providing a mechanism for human pigment evolution and disease

CM Dooley, H Schwarz, KP Mueller… - Pigment cell & …, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
We present here the positional cloning of the D anio rerio albino mutant and show that the
affected gene encodes S lc45a2. The human orthologous gene has previously been shown to …

[HTML][HTML] Visual acuity in larval zebrafish: behavior and histology

MF Haug, O Biehlmaier, KP Mueller, SCF Neuhauss - Frontiers in Zoology, 2010 - Springer
Background Visual acuity, the ability of the visual system to distinguish two separate objects
at a given angular distance, is influenced by the optical and neuronal properties of the visual …

Quantitative measurements of the optokinetic response in adult fish

KP Mueller, SCF Neuhauss - Journal of neuroscience methods, 2010 - Elsevier
Small teleost fish are increasingly used for studying the genetic basis of vision. In particular,
zebrafish (Danio rerio) and medaka (Oryzias latipes) are commonly used vertebrate model …

[HTML][HTML] Sunscreen for fish: co-option of UV light protection for camouflage

KP Mueller, SCF Neuhauss - PLoS One, 2014 - journals.plos.org
Many animals change their body pigmentation according to illumination of their environment.
In aquatic vertebrates, this reaction is mediated through aggregation or dispersion of …

Distinct retinal deficits in a zebrafish pyruvate dehydrogenase-deficient mutant

CM Maurer, HB Schönthaler, KP Mueller… - Journal of …, 2010 - Soc Neuroscience
Mutations in ubiquitously expressed metabolic genes often lead to CNS-specific effects,
presumably because of the high metabolic demands of neurons. However, mutations in …

[PDF][PDF] Behavioral neurobiology: how larval fish orient towards the light

KP Mueller, SCF Neuhauss - Current Biology, 2010 - cell.com
Orientation of animals towards or away from light is a simple behavior commonly found in the
animal kingdom. A recent study using zebrafish larvae has revealed the underlying neural …
