Summary: Predicted to enable cytokine activity. Involved in regulation of epiboly involved in gastrulation with mouth forming second. Acts upstream of or within with a positive effect on nodal signaling pathway. Acts upstream of or within with a negative effect on BMP signaling pathway. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including axis specification; embryonic morphogenesis; and regulation of nodal signaling pathway. Part of protein-containing complex. Is expressed in several structures, including blastomere; gonad; heart primordium; mesoderm; and tail bud. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Klippel-Feil syndrome 3; congenital heart disease; isolated microphthalmia 7; multiple types of congenital heart defects 6; and visceral heterotaxy. Orthologous to several human genes including GDF3 (growth differentiation factor 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

Collectively, these data indicate that gdf3 is critical for robust Nodal signaling at multiple stages in zebrafish embryonic development.
Title: Gdf3 is required for robust Nodal signaling during germ layer formation and left-right patterning.
Together, these findings demonstrate that Gdf3 is an essential cofactor of Nodal signaling during establishment of the embryonic axis.
Title: Maternal Gdf3 is an obligatory cofactor in Nodal signaling for embryonic axis formation in zebrafish.
Dvr1 acts as a direct and essential mediator for convergence and extension cell movements during zebrafish gastrulation.
Title: Setdb2 controls convergence and extension movements during zebrafish gastrulation by transcriptional regulation of dvr1.
Dvr1 is responsible for enabling the transfer of a left-right signal from Kupffer's vesicle to lateral plate mesoderm.
Title: Dvr1 transfers left-right asymmetric signals from Kupffer's vesicle to lateral plate mesoderm in zebrafish.
serum Vg in zebrafish D. rerio is an acute phase protein with bacterial-binding and inhibiting activities.
Title: Vitellogenin is an acute phase protein with bacterial-binding and inhibiting activities.
Vg1 signaling in zebrafish depends on EGF-CFC proteins, but not on Nodal signals. Vg1 binds to and signal through Activin receptors only in the presence of EGF-CFC proteins.
Title: EGF-CFC proteins are essential coreceptors for the TGF-beta signals Vg1 and GDF1.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
