Abstract excerpt
A novel extracellular matrix protein flectin (250 kD M(r)) shows specific left-right asymmetric expression before and throughout the looping process during heart development in avian embryos [Tsuda et al., 1996]. Flectin is a candidate molecule to provide directionality to the looping process in...
