Reference: J:70833 Laub F, et al., Embryonic expression of Kruppel-like factor 6 in neural and non-neural tissues. Mech Dev. 2001 Aug;106(1-2):167-70
Assay type: RNA in situ
MGI Accession ID: MGI:5447055
Gene symbol: Klf6
Gene name: Kruppel-like transcription factor 6
Probe: Klf6 cDNA2
Probe preparation: Antisense RNA
Assay notes: The authors state that different RNA probes were generated corresponding to the non-coding or coding regions of the gene; the latter did not contain the highly conserved DNA binding domain. Identical results were obtained with different riboprobes.
