... recombinant protein in mid to late zebrafish Maternal-Zygotic one-eyed pinhead (MZ oep ) blastulae was able to fully rescue the mutant phenotype, thus providing the first direct evidence that Cripto activity can be added extracellularly to recover oep -encoded function in zebrafish early embryos. Moreover, 15...

... gastrulation. pitx2a expression is first detected at bud stage in the anterior prechordal plate. The regulation of early mesendoderm pitx2c expression is dependent on one-eyed pinhead (EGF-CFC-related gene) and spadetail ( tbx -transcription factor) and can be induced by ectopic goosecoid expression...
