nodal homolog (NODAL)

Function: - essential for mesoderm formation & axial patterning during embryonic development (putative) Structure: - homodimer; disulfide-linked (putative) - belongs to the TGF-beta family Compartment: secreted (putative) Pathology: - defects in NODAL are the cause of visceral heterotaxy autosomal type 5
