Another set of early genes activated by VegT encodes Nodal paracrine factors that instruct the cell layers above them to become mesoderm

Nieuwkoop center
Dorsalmost vegetal cells of the blastula, which are capable of inducing the organizer dorsal vegetal cells can induce animal cells to become dorsal mesodermal tissue)

The major candidate for the factor that forms the Nieuwkoop center was β-catenin (This multifunctional protein also proved to be a key player in the formation of the dorsal amphibian tissues)
