Name: lens epithelium
Synonyms:
Definition: Epithelium which borders the anterior and equitorial region of the lens. Lens growth in zebrafish occurs via the differentiation of additional fibre cells from lens epithelial cells.
Ontology: Anatomy Ontology [ZFA:0001326]
Name: transforming growth factor beta receptor signaling pathway
Synonyms: TGF-beta receptor signaling pathway, TGF-beta receptor signalling pathway, TGFbeta receptor signaling pathway, TGFbeta receptor signalling pathway, transforming growth factor beta receptor signalling pathway
Definition: The series of molecular signals initiated by an extracellular ligand binding to a transforming growth factor beta receptor on the surface of a target cell, and ending with the regulation of a downstream cellular process, e.g. transcription.
