Zusammenfassung
Aims: GATA transcription factors are a family of six zinc finger proteins. Four out of six family members have been detected in the developing nervous system. Of those, GATA–2 and –3 regulate several neuronal specification pathways. Less is known about GATA–4 and –6. Nobody so far attempted a systematic overview of GATA expression patterns in the nervous system. It is a necessary step towards understanding the role of the family in maintaining integrity of the nervous system during development as well as distress. Aim: To examine expression patterns of four GATA transcription factors: GATA–2, –3, –4 and –6 and t…
