Abstract excerpt
The function of a carboxyl-terminal truncated version of the Xenopus activin receptor, encoded by a previously isolated gene XSTK2, was investigated in early embryos. The transcript corresponding to the truncated receptor gene was detected throughout embryonic development although the temporal expression pattern was different from that of an intact receptor. Injection of XSTK2 mRNA into early embryos resulted in...
