Abstract excerpt
Nodal proteins are secreted signaling factors of the transforming growth factor beta (TGFbeta) family with essential roles in embryonic development in vertebrates. Mutations affecting the Nodal factors have severe consequences in mammals and fish. Furthermore, increased Nodal levels have been associated with melanoma tumor progression. Like other TGFbeta-related proteins, Nodal factors consist of a pro-domain and...
