A. Ohyama et al., Differential expression of two BMP antagonists, gremlin and Follistatin, during development of the chick feather bud, MECH DEVEL, 100(2), 2001, pp. 331-333
Expression of four BMP antagonist genes, noggin, chordin, gremlin and Folli
statin, was examined during chick feather development. Although expression
of noggin and chordin was not detected, gremlin and Follistatin were expres
sed differentially in feather buds. The differential expression patterns of
gremlin and Follistatin change dynamically from the nascent inter-feather
bud region to the posterior domain of the feather bud. (C) 2001 Elsevier Sc
