Fig. 2. Overexpression of Smurfs in the ectoderm induces enlarged or ectopic cement gland and enlarged head. RNAs encoding Smurf1 or 2 were injected into the animal region of early frog embryos and the resulting tailbud embryos are shown here. The numbers indicate the embryos displaying the phenotype.
