Activin signaling promotes the competence of the prothoracic gland during Drosophila metamorphosis
… of the steroid hormone ecdysone produced by the prothoracic gland. However, the molecular mechanisms that control production of the ecdysone titer are not completely understood. Here we show that blocking Activin signaling in Drosophila prothoracic gland causes developmental arrest prior to …
