Gene name: carboxypeptidase A1, pancreatic
Results
Specimen 3A: embryonic day 11.5 (more )
Note: Triple labeled: red - Cpa1; blue - Cdh1 (assay MGI:7853922); green - Endo: the four major endocrine hormones (insulin, glucagon, somatostatin, and pancreatic polypeptide) were simultaneously recognized with a mixture of antibodies.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: pancreas primordium epithelium Present Scattered 3A At all embryonic stages examined, Cpa1-positive cells do not express mature endocrine hormones.

Specimen 3B: embryonic day 12.5 (more )
Note: Triple labeled: red - Cpa1; blue - Cdh1 (assay MGI:7853922); green - Endo: the four major endocrine hormones (insulin, glucagon, somatostatin, and pancreatic polypeptide) were simultaneously recognized with a mixture of antibodies.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: pancreas branching epithelium tip Present Regionally restricted 3B By E12.5, there were well-formed primary branches in the pancreas, and Cpa1 expression was largely restricted to the branching tips. At all embryonic stages examined, Cpa1-positive cells do not express mature endocrine hormones.

Specimen 3C: embryonic day 13.5 (more )
Note: Triple labeled: red - Cpa1; blue - Cdh1 (assay MGI:7853922); green - Endo: the four major endocrine hormones (insulin, glucagon, somatostatin, and pancreatic polypeptide) were simultaneously recognized with a mixture of antibodies.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS21: pancreas branching epithelium tip Present Regionally restricted 3C The tip-restricted expression pattern of expression persists through successive branching and growth of the pancreatic tree. At all embryonic stages examined, Cpa1-positive cells do not express mature endocrine hormones.

Specimen 3D: embryonic day 14.5 (more )
