... this phenotype we examined the expression of the receptors transducing BMP signaling during gut development. We find that the BMP receptors are differentially expressed in distinct regions of the chicken embryonic gut. By using constitutively activated versions of the BMP type I receptors, we find that the BMP...

... antagonist Xnoggin and, independently, a dominant negative Bmp receptor ( dnAlk6 ), were overexpressed using the surfactant protein C ( Sp-C ) promoter/enhancer. Inhibiting Bmp signaling results in a severe reduction in distal epithelial cell types and a concurrent increase in proximal cell types...

..., 279-287). Here we show that Bmp2 and Bmp4 are expressed in PSA1 embryoid bodies and embryos at the stages when visceral endoderm differentiation and cavitation are occurring, and that blocking BMP signaling via expression of a transgene encoding a dominant negative mutant form of BMP receptor IB...
