Abstract excerpt
Intercellular signaling by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) proteins coordinates developmental decisions in many organisms. A receptor complex and Smad signal transducers are required for proper responses to TGF-beta signals. We have taken a phylogenetic approach to understanding the developmental evolutionary history of TGF-beta signaling pathways. We were interested in detecting evolutionary...
