Morphogen Receptor Genes and Metamorphogenes
1 Nov 2007
Abstract excerpt
Morphogen receptors are nodal points in signal transduction pathways that regulate morphogenesis during embryonic development. A recent discovery identified a recurrent missense mutation in a gene encoding a morphogen receptor responsible for the elusive process of skeletal metamorphosis in humans. Metamorphosis, the postnatal transformation of one normal tissue or organ system into another, is a biological...
