Although neuromast-specific responses to estrogens have not been reported in other biosensor fish, esr2a and esr2b are highly expressed in the neuromasts, and knockdown of esr2b abolishes neuromast development, indicating a crucial role of ER signaling for neuromast development/function (Froehlicher et al.
