The myotomal diwanka (lh3) glycosyltransferase and type XVIII collagen are critical for motor growth cone migration

The initial migration of motor growth cones from the spinal cord into the periphery requires extrinsic cues, yet their identities are largely unknown. In zebrafish diwanka mutants, motor growth cones are motile but fail to pioneer into the periphery. Here, we report on the positional cloning of diwa...
