Human Endodermal Lineage Marker Antibody Sampler Kit, BioAssay?
Description
Two endodermal lineages develop during mammalian embryogenesis, the primitive endoderm of the blastocyst stage embryo and the definitive endoderm at gastrulation. The primitive endoderm gives rise to extra-embryonic lineages encompassing the visceral and the parietal endoderm. The definitive endoderm contributes to the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts by forming the epithelial lining of the trachea, esophagus, lungs, stomach and intestines, and is a major component of many glands, including thyroid, thymus, pancreas and liver. Understanding molecular mechanisms that regulate early endodermal fates is seminal for the advance of stem cell research as they connect the transition from pluripotency to endoderm specification during mammalian development and contribute to the generation of clinically relevant cell types. FoxA2/HNF3beta is a transcription factor essential for development of the endoderm and midline structures in mouse embryos. EOMES acts during gastrulation to promote t
