Comments
  • FUNCTION: Involved in the transcriptional regulation of genes required for mesoderm formation and differentiation. Causes dorsal mesodermal differentiation of animal cap ectoderm when co-expressed with XWNT-8 and Noggin. None of these molecules causes dorsal mesoderm formation when expressed alone.
  • SUBUNIT: Monomer.
  • SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus.
  • TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed in presumptive mesodermal cells around the blastopore, and then in the notochord.
  • DEVELOPMENTAL STAGE: During gastrula and neurula stages in involuting mesoderm and in the notochord.
  • INDUCTION: By the natural signal and in response to the mesoderm-inducing factors activin A, basic FGF/bFGF, derriere, nodal/nr-1, nodal2/nr-2 and nodal4/nr-4.
  • SIMILARITY: Contains 1 T-box DNA-binding domain.
