High impact information on LOC378806

  • Unlike Chd, Kielin does not efficiently induce neural differentiation of animal cap ectoderm, suggesting that the activity of Kielin is not simply caused by BMP4 blockade [1].
  • Kielin is induced in mesoderm and in ectoderm by nodal-related genes [1].
  • Expression of Kielin starts at midgastrula stages in the notochord and is detected in the floor plate of neurula embryos [1].
