AB  - Xenopus laevis is an excellent model organism for studies on vertebrate endoderm development (Womble et al., 2016; Zorn, 2009). The endoderm contributes to a number of important organs including the lungs, liver, gall bladder, pancreas, stomach and intestine. Each of these organs differentiate from the foregut, midgut, and hindgut domains of the early endoderm (Chalmers and Slack, 2000). It has recently been shown that as early as gastrulation differential fates are being specified within the endoderm (Costa et al., 2003; Rankin et al., 2018). Several studies have worked to identify markers of different fates in the developing endoderm in order to assist with research on endoderm specification, differentiation, and organogenesis, but not all of the identified genes have known functions and some are currently unclassified (Chen et al., 2003; Costa et al., 2003; Park et al., 2007; Zorn and Mason 2001).
