High impact information on cad2-A

A Xenopus gene whose expression can be activated by the organizer-specific homeobox genes goosecoid and Xnot2 was isolated by differential screening [1].
Xenopus chordin: a novel dorsalizing factor activated by organizer-specific homeobox genes [1].

Other interactions of cad2-A

Xwnt-8 can activate goosecoid only in the deep marginal zone, i.e., in the region in which this organizer-specific homeobox gene is normally expressed on the dorsal side [2].
