Leukocyte cell-derived chemotaxin-2 is a secreted, 16 kDa protein that acts as a chemotactic factor to neutrophils and stimulates the growth of chondrocytes...
Vertebrates exhibit numerous left-right (L-R) asymmetries, such as the position of the heart and spleen on the left side. L-R polarity is determined early...
Lefty proteins are signaling ligands that act in opposition to the NODAL protein. During vertebrate development they regulate the degree of left-right...
