title: Inductive activity of retinal peptides.
abstract: We studied the effect of retinal polypeptide Retinalamin on multipotent ectodermal cells of the early gastrula of Xenopus laevis. Neuronal differentiation of the early gastrula ectoderm including the brain, retina, and pigment epithelium depended on Retinalamin concentration.
