Zebrafish second heart field development relies on progenitor specification in anterior lateral plate mesoderm and <i>nkx2.5</i> function
26 Feb 2013
Abstract excerpt
Second heart field (SHF) progenitors perform essential functions during mammalian cardiogenesis. We recently identified a population of cardiac progenitor cells (CPCs) in zebrafish expressing latent TGFβ-binding protein 3 (ltbp3) that exhibits several defining characteristics of the anterior SHF in mammals. However, ltbp3 transcripts are conspicuously absent in anterior lateral plate mesoderm (ALPM), where SHF...
