Fig. 6. mRNA expression of GPAT1 and GPAT2 in different organs detected by whole- mount in situ hybridization. (A) GPAT1 is expressed during kidney and liver organogenesis. Whole-mount in situ hybridization with the GPAT1 antisense riboprobe of embryos at the indicated stages is shown in the left column. Higher magnifications of the kidney and liver regions are shown in a lateral view in the right two panels (anterior to left). Eye (E), kidney (K) (early expression detected at stage 26) and liver (L) (early expression detected at stage 33/34) are shown. (B) GPAT1 and GPAT2 show a different expression pattern at stage 40. GPAT1 and GPAT2 are both expressed in the nervous system (E, eye; B, brain; and SC, spinal cord). Further, GPAT1 is strongly expressed in liver (L) and kidney (K), whereas GPAT2 is expressed in presumptive gonad (testis-T) and weakly in kidney.
