Anti-GATA-6 Antibody

Descrição detalhada : GATA-6 is a developmental transcriptional activator important in terminal differentiation and proliferation of cells destined to be associated with the heart, gut and gut related tissues and organs. GATA-6 works in concert with SEMA3C and PLXNA2 transcription factors and regulates the expression of their target genes. GATA-6 is particularly important in heart development as a number of genetic mutations within GATA-6 give rise to defective syndromes involving the heart or the vessels of the heart. Interestingly, recent research into pulmonary hypertension disease in adults points to a critical role of GATA-6 expression in endothelial cells lining the blood vessels. Healthy blood vessels express GATA-6 very strongly but expression is lost during vascular injury and markedly down regulated in the endothelial cells found in diseased vessels. Because GATA-6 is a direct transcriptional regulator or important vascular proteins such as endothelin-1 receptor, endothelial nitric oxide synthase, and cytokines such as Fractalkine, GATA-6's role in modulating the affects of pulmonary hypertension and other vascular syndromes is a subject of much research.
