Assignment of the Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Gene to Human Chromosome 6p21.3

TL;DR: The location of the V EGF gene in the 6p21.3 region is a potential starting point for a linkage study and the isolation of YAC clones containing the VEGF gene will contribute to the construction of the physical map of this chromosomal region.
Journal ArticleDOI

The orphan receptor ALK7 and the Activin receptor ALK4 mediate signaling by Nodal proteins during vertebrate development

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present biochemical and functional evidence that the orphan type I serine/threonine kinase receptor ALK7 acts as a receptor for mouse Nodal and Xenopus nodal-related 1 (Xnr1).
Journal ArticleDOI

Nodal-dependent Cripto signaling promotes cardiomyogenesis and redirects the neural fate of embryonic stem cells

TL;DR: Evidence is provided for a novel role of the Nodal/Cripto/Alk4 pathway in the earliest stages of cardiomyogenesis, indicating that Cripto acts early to determine the cardiac fate.
