摘要: Xenopus embryos express N-cadherin in a pattern similar to that observed other species, and cells expressing can bind chicken vitro. To investigate the developmental role of this molecule, we injected mRNA encoding into one blastomere 2-cell-stage examined effect its expression on their development. The ectopic occurred various regions induced abnormal histogenesis, such as thickening, clumping or fusion cell layers. These results suggest precise quantitative qualitative regulation cadherins is essential embryonic morphogenesis.
