Abstract
The lin-3 gene is necessary for induction of the Caenorhabditis elegans vulva by the anchor cell. It encodes a molecule similar to epidermal growth factor and to transforming growth factor-alpha and acts through the epidermal growth factor receptor homologue let-23. Expression of lin-3 in the anchor cell stimulates vulval induction; lin-3 may encode the vulval inducing signal.Entities:
