The role of maternal Activin-like signals in zebrafish embryos.

Developmental biology - 15 Sept 2007

Hagos Engda G, Fan Xiang, Dougan Scott T

Abstract excerpt

Maternal Activin-like proteins, a subgroup of the TGF-beta superfamily, play a key role in establishing the body axes in many vertebrates, but their role in teleosts is unclear. At least two maternal Activin-like proteins are expressed in zebrafish, including the Vg1 orthologue, zDVR-1, and the nodal-related gene, Squint. Our analysis of embryos lacking both maternal and zygotic squint function revealed that...
