nodal3-b

Gene
nodal3-b
Protein
Nodal homolog 3-B
Organism
Xenopus laevis
Length
401 amino acids
Function
Exhibits mesoderm-dorsalizing activity and neural-inducing activity, but lacks mesoderm-inducing activity. Regulates the expression of specific mesodermal and neural genes. Induces convergent extension movements at the embryonic midline by activating the fgf signaling pathway to induce t/bra expression in the organizer region. Acts with wnt11 to induce Spemann organizer cells and induce axis formation. The unprocessed protein antagonizes bmp-signaling (By similarity).
Similarity
Belongs to the TGF-beta family.
