This is the community wiki page for the gene gata6 please feel free to add any information that is relevant to this gene that is not already captured elsewhere in Xenbase

summary from NCBI

This gene is a member of a small family of zinc finger transcription factors that play an important role in the regulation of cellular differentiation and organogenesis during vertebrate development. This gene is expressed during early embryogenesis and localizes to endo- and mesodermally derived cells during later embryogenesis and thereby plays an important role in gut, lung, and heart development. In Human, mutations in this gene are associated with several congenital defects. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2012]
