Assay
Reference: J:85728 Hochgreb T, et al., A caudorostral wave of RALDH2 conveys anteroposterior information to the cardiac field. Development. 2003 Nov;130(22):5363-74
Assay type: Immunohistochemistry
MGI Accession ID: MGI:2684672
Gene symbol: Aldh1a2
Gene name: aldehyde dehydrogenase family 1, subfamily A2
Antibody: anti-RALDH2
Assay notes: Authors state that Figure 5 depicts embryos at stages ranging from the late allantoic bud to the 6 somites stage. Further discussion in the text suggests that these 2 images are at least in the 3-4 somites stage. Therefore, the age has been assigned by GXD curator to between 3-6 somites.
Results
Specimen 5J: embryonic day 8.0 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS12: lateral plate mesoderm Present Regionally restricted 5J Arches of expression joined at the midline in sino-atrial tissue below the anterior intestinal portal. The embryo displays a looped heart.

Specimen 5K: embryonic day 8.0 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
