Syntheses of Alkaline Phosphatase in Embryonic Cells during Aggregate Formation

Nature New Biology volume 235, pages 254–256 (1972)Cite this article

Abstract

CELL interaction, an important process in morphogenesis, seems to regulate in some way the expression of genetic information, thereby giving rise to differentiation of the cell; but little is known about the mechanism of such regulation at the molecular level. Our results suggest that the synthesis of alkaline phosphatase is regulated at the translation level in embryonic cells.
