There are six vertebrate GATA proteins, designated GATA-1 to GATA-6 (3). GATA-4 is crucial for cardiomyocyte differentiation (4), and not surprisingly, mutations in the gene are implicated in many cardiac diseases, such as tetralogy of Fallot (5), familial and sporadic dilated cardiomyopathy (6,7), and atrial septal defect (8). GATA-4 and GATA-6 together maintain intestinal epithelial structure by regulating enterocyte gene expression (9). They also have overlapping roles in steroidogenesis and genital ridge formation during gonadal development (10). GATA-4 is also a required factor for bone mineralization in osteoblast progenitor cells, where it suppresses TGF-β and activates BMP signaling (11). Research studies have uncovered crosstalk among the transcription factors GATA-4, GATA-6, and KLF5 that promotes gastric cancer development (12). Additional studies describe the role of histone H3K9 hyperacetylation on the GATA-4 promoter in fetal mice that have been exposed to ethanol (13).\n\u003cb\u003eAlternate Names\u003c\/b\u003e\nASD2; GATA binding protein 4; GATA-binding factor 4; GATA-binding protein 4; GATA4; MGC126629; TACHD; TOF; Transcription factor GATA-4; VSD1\n\n\u003cb\u003eSpecification\u003c\/b\u003e\n\nREACTIVITY: H\nSENSITIVITY: Endogenous\nMW (kDa): 55\nSource\/Isotype: Rabbit IgG","brand":"CST","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46799449030825,"sku":"36966T","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/cst-36966t","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
