Abstract excerpt
The activin receptor, a transmembrane serine-threonine kinase, is a key component necessary for pattern formation in early Xenopus development. This protein interacts with members of the transforming growth factor beta family and stimulates cells of the marginal zone to differentiate along the mesodermal pathway. In large part, this function of the activin receptor has been inferred from observations of...
