Figure 5. Heterotaxia Following Misexpression of H+/K+-ATPase α and β Subunits and the Kir4.1 Potassium Channel Xenopus embryos were injected at the 1-cell stage with mRNAs encoding H+/K+-ATPase α and β subunits and Kir4.1. The incidence of heterotaxia (percentage of heterotaxic embryos) was scored as in Figure 1. α and β subunits expressed together, but not alone, induced statistically significant (*, p < 0.001) incidence of heterotaxia. Kir4.1 further increased the incidence of heterotaxic embryos when coexpressed with both H+/K+-ATPase subunits. Image published in: Levin M et al. (2002) Copyright © 2002.
