Abstract excerpt
Early dorsoventral pattern formation in vertebrate embryos is regulated by opposing activities of ventralizing bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) and dorsal-specific BMP antagonists such as Chordin, Noggin and Follistatin. Specific defects in early dorsoventral patterning have been recently found in a number of zebrafish mutants, which exhibit either a ventralized or dorsalized phenotype. One of these, the...
