GATA4 is essential for formation of the proepicardium and regulates cardiogenesis
13 Aug 2004
Abstract excerpt
The role of GATA4 during the earliest stages of cardiogenesis has not been defined because Gata4 knockout embryos suffer an early developmental arrest caused by deficiencies in extraembryonic visceral endoderm function. We have used tetraploid embryo complementation to rescue these defects and generated clonal embryonic day 9.5 Gata4(-/-) embryos directly from embryonic stem cells. GATA4-null embryos display...
