Abstract
We compared the expression patterns of follistatin and two follistatin-rela ted proteins (FRP and m7365) during early mouse development. m7365 is expre ssed continuously during preimplantation development, in contrast to FRP an d follistatin. At early postimplantation stages, follistatin and 7365 are e xpressed from E6.0, while FRP is detected from E7.5 onwards. Although there is some overlap between the expression of these genes in the primitive str eak and somites, their overall expression patterns are distinct.
