Zebrafish cardiac enhancer trap lines: New tools for in vivo studies of cardiovascular development and disease

Abstract excerpt

Using the transposon-mediated enhancer trap (ET), we generated 18 cardiac enhancer trap (CET) transgenic zebrafish lines. They exhibit EGFP expression in defined cell types--the endocardium, myocardium, and epicardium--or in anatomical regions of the heart--the atrium, ventricle, valves, or bulbus arteriosus. Most of these expression domains are maintained into adulthood. The genomic locations of the transposon...
