Mad | Mothers against dpp (Mad) encodes the primary transcription factor that mediates cellular response to the BMP like ligands encoded by dpp, scw and gbb. Upon phosphorylation by either the products of sax or tkv (type I BMP receptors), it forms a complex with the product of Med and translocates to the nucleus where, together with cofactors, it regulates expression of BMP response target genes; Belongs to the dwarfin/SMAD family.

step | Steppke, isoform C; Steppke (step) encodes a member of the cytohesin family of guanine nucleotide exchange factors, which regulate small GTPases of the ADP-ribosylation factor (ARF) family. It contributes to multiple signaling pathways, such as Egfr, MAPK, PI3K and insulin signaling. It is involved in wing and eye development, germ cell segregation and cell growth. (727 aa) |
