Cripto-1 Activates Nodal- and ALK4-Dependent and -Independent Signaling Pathways in Mammary Epithelial Cells
1 Apr 2002
Abstract excerpt
Cripto-1 (CR-1), an epidermal growth factor-CFC (EGF-CFC) family member, has a demonstrated role in embryogenesis and mammary gland development and is overexpressed in several human tumors. Recently, EGF-CFC proteins were implicated as essential signaling cofactors for Nodal, a transforming growth factor beta family member whose expression has previously been defined as embryo specific. To identify a receptor for...
