Abstract:Noggin1 is a famous embryonic neural inducer that can sequester TGF-beta cytokines of Bone Morphogenetic Protein family, thereby antagonizing Smad1-dependent signaling pathway activity. During early embryogenesis noggin1 executes two major biological functions: conversion of embryonic mesoderm into skeletal muscles (dorsalization) and of ectoderm into neural tissue (neuralization). Anterior neural tissue is involved in the formation of head structures and particularly in the development of rostral forebrain (R… Show more
