Background

Nodal is a secreted signaling molecule and a member of the TGF-beta superfamily. In human, it is synthesized as a 347 amino acid (aa) preproprecursor that contains a 26 aa signal sequence, a 211 aa prodomain, and a 110 aa mature region. Several factors, such as Cerberus, LeftyA and LeftyB, are able to block Nodal activation of its receptor. Nodal is known to induce both mesoderm and endoderm and participate in anterior-posterior positioning.
