Abstract

non-arterial lineages. However, GATA2 is primarily needed for HE to undergo EHT. Forced expression of GATA2 in non-HE failed to induce blood formation. The lack of GATA2 requirement for generation of HE and non-HE indicates the critical role of GATA2-independent pathways in specification of these two distinct endothelial lineages.
