GATA-4 was detected in immersion fixed HepG2 human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line (positive staining) and MCF-7 human breast cancer cell line (negative staining) using Mouse Anti-Human GATA-4 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB26061) at 8 µg/mL for 3 hours at room temperature. Cells were stained using the NorthernLights™ 557-conjugated Anti-Mouse IgG Secondary Antibody (red; Catalog # NL007) and counterstained with DAPI (blue). Specific staining was localized to cytoplasm and nuclei. View our protocol for Fluorescent ICC Staining of Cells on Coverslips.

Background: GATA-4

GATA-4 belongs to the GATA family of transcription factors, which bind to the consensus DNA sequence (A/T) GATA (A/G) to control diverse tissue-specific programs of gene expression and morphogenesis. It is widely expressed in mesodermal- and endodermal-derived tissues. GATA-4 interacts with other transcription factors such as NKX2.5, and myocyte enhancer factor 2 to regulate cardiac myocyte-specific gene expression. GATA-4 contains 2 zinc finger-binding domains and migrates at 56 kDa in SDS-PAGE gels. Human GATA-4 share 93%, 93% and 92% amino acid sequence identity with porcine, rat and mouse GATA-4, respectively.
