Abstract excerpt
GATA4 and GATA6 play essential, but redundant, roles in pancreas formation in mice, and GATA6 mutations cause pancreatic agenesis in humans. GATA6 mutations have also recently been linked to adult-onset diabetes, with subclinical or no exocrine insufficiency, suggesting an important role for GATA6 in human β-cell physiology. To investigate the role of GATA6 in the adult endocrine pancreas, we generated mice in...
