General Information

Term

cardioblast differentiation

ID (Ontology)

GO:0010002 (Gene Ontology)

Definition

The process in which a relatively unspecialized mesodermal cell acquires the specialized structural and/or functional features of a cardioblast. A cardioblast is a cardiac precursor cell. It is a cell that has been committed to a cardiac fate, but will undergo more cell division rather than terminally differentiating.

Also Known As

"cardiac precursor cell differentiation" ; "cardioblast cell differentiation"
