Fig. 1. Reversal of heart and gut looping in Zic3-injected embryos.
(A,B) Wild-type Xenopus embryo (stage 47) with a rightward
looping heart and counterclockwise coiled gut. (C,D) Embryo that
was injected with 50 pg of Zic3 on the right side, with a leftward
looping heart and a clockwise coiled gut. (E) The frequency of
reversed organs. Right-sided Zic3 injection altered heart and gut
looping more frequently than left-sided injection (see also Table 1).
The inversion frequency by activin injection (0.5 pg) was determined
in a positive control. Image published in: Kitaguchi T et al. (2000) Copyright © 2000. Image reproduced with permission of the publisher and the copyright holder.
