Several transcription factors regulate cardiac conduction system (CCS) development and function but the role of each in specifying distinct CCS components remains unclear. GATA-binding factor 6 (GATA6) is a zinc-finger transcription factor that is critical for patterning the cardiovascular system. However, the role of GATA6 in the embryonic heart and CCS has never been shown.
