Regulation of a vascular plexus by gata4 is mediated in zebrafish through the chemokine sdf1a.
Using the zebrafish model we describe a previously unrecognized requirement for the transcription factor gata4 controlling embryonic angiogenesis. The development of a vascular plexus in the embryonic tail, the caudal hematopoietic tissue (CHT), fails in embryos depleted of gata4. Rather than formin...
