HyBMP5-8b, a BMP5-8 orthologue, acts during axial patterning and tentacle formation in hydra.

摘要: Developmental gradients play a central role in axial patterning hydra. As part of the effort towards elucidating molecular basis these as well investigating evolution mechanisms underlying patterning, genes encoding signaling molecules are under investigation. We report isolation and characterization HyBMP5-8b, BMP5-8 orthologue, from Processes governing continuously active adult Expression patterns HyBMP5-8b normal animals during bud formation, hydra's asexual form reproduction, were examined. These patterns, coupled with changes expression manipulated tissues head regeneration, foot regeneration conditions that alter positional value gradient indicate gene is two different processes. The plays tentacle formation lower end body axis.
