Abstract excerpt
Cortical rotation and concomitant dorsal translocation of cytoplasmic determinants are the earliest events known to be necessary for dorsoventral patterning in Xenopus embryos. The earliest known molecular target is beta-catenin, which is essential for dorsal development and becomes dorsally enriched shortly after cortical rotation. In mammalian cells cytoplasmic accumulation of beta-catenin follows reduction of...
