Definition of morphogen in English:

morphogen

noun ˈmɔːfədʒ(ə)nˈmôrfəjən

Biology

A chemical agent able to cause or determine morphogenesis.
Example sentencesExamples
- He suggested that biological forms mirror patterns in the concentrations of hypothetical chemicals called morphogens.
- For example, many morphogens - molecules that direct cells to grow and differentiate during embryogenesis - are not water - soluble, so biologists know little about how they spread out during early development.
- The Hedgehog proteins are secreted morphogens that provide positional information during the development of many multi-cellular animals.
- A morphogen is a diffusible substance that specifies the fate and activity of developing cells by its concentration.
- Endocrine studies have shown that thyroid hormone is the principle morphogen controlling amphibian metamorphosis.
