Formation of the liver in zebrafish has been analyzed during normal embryogenesis using
ceruloplasmin (Cp) as a specific marker. The asymmetric expression of Cp has been
detected in dorsal endoderm at 16 hpf and later in the early hepatic cells in the yolk sac. The
liver primordium can be detected after 32 hpf. In oep−/− mutant, which lacks dorsal
endoderm, the liver fails to form. In the notochordless flh−/− mutant, the asymmetry of the
liver has been lost. Therefore the notochord, dorsal endoderm and endoderm of the yolk sac …

Therefore the notochord, dorsal endoderm and endoderm of the yolk sac play a role in liver formation in zebrafish.
