It regulates cuticle production, tracheal morphogenesis, and axon guidance. (520 aa)
PDZ-GEFPDZ domain-containing guanine nucleotide exchange factor (PDZ-GEF) encodes a guanine nucleotide exchange factor for the product of Rap1. The product of PDZ-GEF contributes to ventral furrow formation, border cell migration, macrophage migration, epithelial migration and morphogenesis, eye development, ovary development, spermathecae formation, germline stem cell maintenance in the testis, adherens junction formation, and anchorage of stem cells to niche. (1573 aa)
tkvReceptor protein serine/threonine kinase; Thickveins (tkv) encodes a transforming growth factor beta type I receptor. Together with the product of put, it functions as a receptor of the product of dpp and therefore contributes to the BMP signaling pathway; Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. TKL Ser/Thr protein kinase family. TGFB receptor subfamily. (575 aa)
Col4a1Collagen alpha-1(IV) chain; Collagen type IV alpha 1 (Col4a1) encodes a subunit of Collagen IV and a major component of basement membranes. It is required for muscle and epithelium integrity. (1779 aa)
cbtCabut, isoform A; Cabut (cbt) encodes a transcription factor that controls Dpp signaling and is involved in dorsal closure and wing disc morphogenesis. (428 aa)
Rab5Rab5, isoform A; Rab5 (Rab5) encodes a monomeric GTPase that controls entry of endocytosed cargo into the early endosome and is required for vesicle re-uptake at the synapse. Altering the activity of the product of Rab5 affects many receptor-mediated signaling pathways as well as epithelial polarity. (219 aa)
dppProtein decapentaplegic; Required during oogenesis for eggshell patterning and dorsal/ventral patterning of the embryo. Acts as a morphogen during embryogenesis to pattern the dorsal/ventral axis, specifying dorsal ectoderm and amnioserosa cell fate within the dorsal half of the embryo; this activity is antagonized by binding to sog and tsg. Induces the formation of visceral mesoderm and the heart in early embryos. Required later in embryogenesis for dorsal closure and patterning of the hindgut. Also functions postembryonically as a long-range morphogen during imaginal disk development [...] (588 aa)
Traf4TNF-receptor-associated factor 4 (Traf4) encodes an adapter protein thought to bind the TNF receptor and activate downstream signaling. However, it also has TNF independent roles, especially with respect to morphogenesis. The product of Traf4 interacts with and localizes polarity and adherens junction proteins such as the products of baz and arm respectively. It is required for normal embryonic development, cell death, and cell growth. (486 aa)
Tak1Mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 7; Component of a protein kinase signal transduction cascade. Mediator of TGF-beta signal transduction. Responsible for activation of the JNK MAPK pathway (basket, bsk and hemipterous, hep) in response to LPS. Component of the NF-kappa-B pathway; relish-mediated JNK inhibition involves proteasomal degradation of Tak1; certain targets of Relish that are induced during immune responses may facilitate destruction of Tak1 and switch off the JNK cascade. Participates in diverse roles such as control of cell shape and regulation of apoptosis. (678 aa)
Npc1bNPC intracellular cholesterol transporter 1 homolog 1b; Important for cholesterol absorption at the midgut epithelium. Acts only in the early steps of sterol absorption, prior to Npc1a-dependent intracellular sterol trafficking. Belongs to the patched family. (1254 aa)
sinuSinuous (sinu) encodes a claudin that contributes to the assembly of septate junctions. It is involved in the development of heart, tracheal tree and the glial blood-brain barrier. (247 aa)
NmtGlycylpeptide N-tetradecanoyltransferase; Adds a myristoyl group to the N-terminal glycine residue of certain cellular proteins. (472 aa)
