Assay type: RNA in situ
MGI Accession ID: MGI:7840424
Gene symbol: Tcn2
Gene name: transcobalamin 2
Probe: RIKEN clone F430103L11 subclone

Visualized with: Alkaline phosphatase
Assay notes: Authors described this gene as an 'anchor gene', which was defined as "genes whose expression is absolutely specific to a given anatomical compartment and/or developmental stage" in mouse kidney development.
Results
Specimen Supplementary Table 1: embryonic day 15.5 (more )
Note: Includes data from diagram in figure 5B.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS23: cortical early proximal tubule Present Section in situ hybridization confirmed specific expression in early proximal tubule. Validated anchor gene. Expression was restricted to early proximal tubule of stage IV tubules.

Specimen not shown: postnatal adult (more )
Note: Data from diagram in figure 5B.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: segment 1 of proximal tubule Present
TS28: segment 2 of proximal tubule Present
TS28: proximal straight tubule Weak
