    摘要: The present invention relates to novel Nodal and Lefty proteins which are members of the TGF-β family. In particular, isolated nucleic acid molecules are provided encoding the human Nodal and Lefty proteins. Nodal and Lefty polypeptides are also provided as are vectors, host cells and recombinant methods for producing the same. The invention further relates to screening methods for identifying agonists and antagonists of Nodal and Lefty activity. Also provided are diagnostic methods for detecting cell growth and differentiation-related disorders and therapeutic methods for treating cell growth and differentiation-related disorders.
