Abstract excerpt
The BMP signaling pathway plays a key role during dorsoventral pattern formation of vertebrate embryos. In zebrafish, all cloned mutants affecting this process are deficient in members of the BMP pathway. In a search for factors differentially expressed in swirl/bmp2b mutants compared with wild type, we isolated zebrafish Sizzled, a member of the secreted Frizzled-related protein family and putative Wnt...
