OX NCBI_TaxID=8355; RN [1] RP NUCLEOTIDE SEQUENCE [MRNA]. RC TISSUE=Gut, and Heart; RX MEDLINE=96175597; PubMed=8631498; DOI=10.1006/dbio.1996.0071; RA Jiang Y., Evans T.; RT "The Xenopus GATA-4/5/6 genes are associated with cardiac RT specification and can regulate cardiac-specific transcription during RT embryogenesis."; RL Dev. Biol. 174:258-270(1996). CC -!- FUNCTION: Associated with cardiac specification and can regulate CC cardiac-specific transcription during embryogenesis. Activates the CC expression of cardiac MHC-alpha in vivo. CC -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus. CC -!- TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed at high levels in heart, small CC intestine, stomach, ovary, and liver. Found at much lower levels CC in lung, spleen, pancreas and skin. CC -!- DEVELOPMENTAL STAGE: Expressed in cardiac progenitors during CC embryogenesis and up-regulated during gastrulation. CC -!- SIMILARITY: Contains 2 GATA-type zinc fingers.
