In the frog (Xenopus laevis)

A gradient of the paracrine factor activin (a morphogen), causes concentration-dependent expression differences of two genes in unspecified cells.

#Unit 5. Developmental Biology

At high concentrations (about 300 molecules/cell), activin induced expression of the goosecoid gene and instructed the cell to become the frog’s dorsal-most structures.
