Regulation of body length and male tail ray pattern formation of Caenorhabditis elegans by a member of TGF-beta family.

Development (Cambridge, England) - 1 Mar 1999

Morita K, Chow K L, Ueno N

Abstract excerpt

We have identified a new member of the TGF-beta superfamily, CET-1, from Caenorhabditis elegans, which is expressed in the ventral nerve cord and other neurons. cet-1 null mutants have shortened bodies and male tail abnormal phenotype resembling sma mutants, suggesting cet-1, sma-2, sma-3 and sma-4 share a common pathway. Overexpression experiments demonstrated that cet-1 function requires wild-type sma genes....
