Abstract excerpt
Smad1 and smad5 encode transcription factors that have been implicated in the transduction of signaling by the bone morphogenetic proteins Bmp2 and/or Bmp4. Here we report the characterization of Smad1 and Smad5 from the zebrafish, Danio rerio. Although smad1, smad5, bmp2b, and bmp4 are all expressed during gastrulation and although all four proteins have ventralizing activities, they appear to play distinct...
