Involvement of p21ras in Xenopus mesoderm induction.

Nature - 21 May 1992

Whitman M, Melton D A

Abstract excerpt

During early vertebrate embryogenesis, mesoderm is specified by a signal emanating from prospective endoderm. This signal can respecify Xenopus prospective ectoderm as mesoderm, and can be mimicked by members of the fibroblast growth factor and transforming growth factor-beta families. In other systems, the p21c-ras proto-oncogene product has been implicated in signal transduction for various polypeptide growth...
