Abstract excerpt
To study the potential role of insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) during early embryogenesis, we have used the amphibian Xenopus laevis, a versatile model of vertebrate development. Using polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based cloning strategies, we have previously identified two different nonallelic Xenopus IGF-I genes (IGF-I' and IGF-I"). Both are expressed in similar quantities in adult liver. We now report...
