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 ex...
