Whole mount in situ for retinaldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (Raldh2) in wild-type mouse embryos. (A) Mouse embryo at embryonic day (E) 11.5. Raldh2 is expressed in the neural tube (nt), limb buds (lb), and genital tubercle (gt); expression is robust in the duodenal region (orange arrow) and the intestine immediately distal to this (green arrow), but is excluded from the stomach (red arrow) and colon (region above the yellow arrow and below the stained intestine). Mouse stomach (B) and intestine (C) at E 13.5. Expression of Raldh2 persists in the duodenum (B and C; orange arrow) and small intestine (C; green arrow); Raldh2 continues to be excluded from the stomach (B) and colon (C; yellow arrow). Measure bar in A indicates 1 mm. Measure bars in B and C indicate 100 μm.
