A homogeneous protein, which induces mesodermal and endodermal tissues in amphibian gastrula ectoderm ("vegetalizing factor") has been isolated from chicken embryos. Inducing factors with similar chemical properties have been found in the Xenopus XTC-cell line and in calf kidney. The factors belong to evolutionary conserved proteins, which may also have regulatory functions in later differentiation processes or the maintenance of differentiation. They are related to the TGF-β protein superfamily. Members of this and of the FGF protein family induce mesodermal tissues. In early embryos mesoderm inducing factors show a graded distribution. Masked maternal neural inducing factors are in part activated after the cleavage stages. They have been partially purified from Xenopus embryos. We could show that phorbolester evokes neural differentiation, suggesting a signal transduction mechanism which may include phospholipases and protein kinases.
