#1
Front (Question)
What are 2 important characteristics of morphogens?
Back (Answer)
• They induce different fates at different concentrations 2. They act directly at a distance
#2
Front (Question)
What is restrictive diffusion?
Back (Answer)
When the signal binds to the extracellular matrix- helps create a more steep concentration gradient
#3
Front (Question)
What are heparon sulphate proteoglycans?
Back (Answer)
Receptors found in the ECM that bind to many ligands- including morphogens They can slow diffusion
#4
Front (Question)
What is the transcriptional read out model?
Back (Answer)
The higher the concentration of morphogen, the higher the amount of activated transcription factor
#5
Front (Question)
What is genetic cross-talk regulation?
Back (Answer)
When the activation of one gene produces a repressor which blocks the expression of another gene
