PRO name lefty protein
Definition A TGF-beta-like cystine-knot cytokine that is an antagonist of nodal signaling. The nodal and lefty genes form positive and negative regulatory loops that resemble the reaction-diffusion system. As a pair, these genes control various events of vertebrate embryonic patterning, including left-right specification and mesoderm formation. [PRO:CNA]
