GATA6

该基因是一个锌指转录因子小家族的成员，在脊椎动物发育过程中对细胞分化和器官发生起着重要的调控作用。该基因在早期胚胎发生过程中表达，并在后期胚胎发生过程中定位于内皮细胞和中胚层细胞，因此在肠、肺和心脏发育中发挥重要作用。这个基因的突变与一些先天性缺陷有关。[由RefSeq提供，2012年3月]
This gene is a member of a small family of zinc finger transcription factors that play an important role in the regulation of cellular differentiation and organogenesis during vertebrate development. This gene is expressed during early embryogenesis and localizes to endo- and mesodermally derived cells during later embryogenesis and thereby plays an important role in gut, lung, and heart development. Mutations in this gene are associated with several congenital defects. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2012]
