Resumen:
Antecedents: During early development, the animal body plan is elaborated as the result of cellular fate acquisition and coordinated gastrulation movements. The FRY microtuble binding protein (fry) gene encodes an evolutionarily conserved protein called Furry (Fry) that exhibits a wide variety of cellular functions, mainly associated with cell polarization, cell division, and morphogenesis. However, little is known about its role in these processes during vertebrate embryogenesis.Aim: Study the role of Fry protein in the establishment of the embryonic body plan, focusing on the morphogenetic movements of gastrulation.
