“…Cellular level coordination of receptor-mediated signals is very common during development. The PG is a good example of this coordination, as it integrates a large variety of signals, such as PTTH (Shimell et al, 2018), Hedgehog (Palm et al, 2013;Rodenfels et al, 2014), Activin (Gibbens et al, 2011), Bone Morphogenetic Protein (BMP) (Setiawan et al, 2018), etc., and interprets them to produce a precisely controlled amount of hormone. At least four RTKs (Torso, Egfr, Alk and Pvr) are expressed in the PG, all of which activate the Ras/Erk pathway (Cruz et al, 2020;Rewitz et al, 2009) (Figure 1B and 2C).…”
