Chamber specification of atrial myosin light chain-2 expression precedes septation during murine cardiogenesis
1 Jun 1994
Abstract excerpt
To study the molecular mechanisms that control patterning of the heart tube during early cardiogenesis, we have used the ventricular myosin regulatory light chain (MLC-2v), which is expressed in the ventricular segment of the primitive heart tube, as a genetic marker for ventricular specification in rodents. To assess whether the atrial isoform, MLC-2a, could also serve as a chamber-specific marker, we cloned an...
