Abstract

Inhibition of Nodal signalling by Lefty mediated through interaction with common receptors and efficient diffusion.

Genes to cells : devoted to molecular & cellular mechanisms, 2002; PubMed, Mus Musculus Nodal — Xenopus tropicalis acvr2a
ABSTRACT: Two TGFbeta-related proteins, Nodal and Lefty, are implicated in early embryonic patterning of vertebrates. Genetic data suggest that Nodal is a signalling molecule, while Lefty is an antagonist of Nodal, but their precise function remains unknown.
