MTG8 expression in the embryonic gut. Transverse sections through MTG8Ex2/lacZ-heterozygous and wt embryos at E10 and E14.5, stained for β-galactosidase activity as a proxy for MTG8 expression, are shown. E14.5 sections were counterstained with eosin. MTG8 is expressed in the mesodermally, rather than in the endodermally, derived tissue and becomes restricted, at the later time point, to the outermost gut layers. fg, foregut; hg, hindgut; da, dorsal aorta.
