abd-A | Homeobox protein abdominal-A; Sequence-specific transcription factor which is part of a developmental regulatory system that provides cells with specific positional identities on the anterior-posterior axis. Required for segmental identity of the second through eighth abdominal segments. Once a pattern of abd-A expression is turned on in a given parasegment, it remains on the more posterior parasegment, so that the complex pattern of expression is built up in the successive parasegments. Appears to repress expression of Ubx whenever they appear in the same cell, but abd-A is repressed [...] (590 aa) | ||||
tow | Target of wingless (tow) overexpression and genetic interaction studies suggest that it acts downstream of the products of fz/dsh (Planar Cell Polarity pathway) and upstream of the product of smo (Hedgehog pathway) during development. (451 aa) |
