Note: Double labeled: green - Actn2; red - F-actin.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS13: cardiac muscle tissue Present Regionally restricted 5E/F Expression in cardiomyocytes in outer wall of heart, organized in irregular puncta along F-actin fibrils.
Specimen 5H/I: embryonic day 8.5 (more )
Note: Double labeled: green - Actn2; red - F-actin.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
