To determine the developmental history of murine esophageal skeletal muscle, smooth
muscle cells were fate mapped by lineage‐specific recombination and phenotypically
marked by eGFP. Examination of embryonic and postnatal tissues revealed that esophageal
skeletal muscle does not arise from transdifferentiation of committed smooth muscle cells.

Abstract
Summary: To determine the developmental history of murine esophageal skeletal muscle, smooth muscle cells were fate mapped by lineage‐specific recombination and phenotypically marked by eGFP.
