wndWallenda (wnd) encodes a kinase in the mixed lineage family of MAP Kinase Kinase Kinases. Its roles include axonal injury signaling (it becomes activated in neurons after axotomy), and in regulation of the structure of presynaptic boutons. (977 aa)
TrpmlTransient receptor potential cation channel, mucolipin (Trpml) encodes a ion channel involved in autophagy, lateral inhibition and TOR signalling regulation. (652 aa)
picoPico, isoform A; Pico (pico) encodes an intracellular adapter protein belonging to the MRL family of proteins, which transduce signals from growth factor receptors to changes in the actin cytoskeleton. Its roles include the regulation of growth and cell migration. (1162 aa)
rictorRapamycin-insensitive companion of Tor (rictor) encodes an essential component of TOR complex 2 where it controls phosphorylation of protein kinases, such as those encoded by Akt1 and trc. The product of rictor contributes to the regulation of tissue growth, dendritic tiling, long term memory, tolerance to heat stress, and mitochondrial quality control. (1936 aa)
mbtSerine/threonine-protein kinase PAK mbt; Involved in neurogenesis of the adult central nervous system, and together with Cdc42, regulates photoreceptor cell morphogenesis. Phosphorylates exogenous substrates when activated by Cdc42. (639 aa)
cazCabeza (caz) encodes a chromatin binding protein involved in locomotion, synaptic growth at the neuromuscular junction and eye development. (399 aa)
jubLIM domain-containing protein jub; Regulates organ size by inhibiting apoptosis and promoting cell proliferation by influencing the expression of G1/S-specific cyclin-E (CycE) and apoptosis 1 inhibitor (th). Negatively regulates the Hippo signaling pathway; Belongs to the zyxin/ajuba family. (728 aa)
licLicorne (lic) encodes a serine/threonine kinase that phosphorylates p38 MAP kinases. (334 aa)
dshSegment polarity protein dishevelled; Required to establish coherent arrays of polarized cells and segments in embryos. Plays a role in wingless (wg) signaling, possibly through the reception of the wg signal by target cells and subsequent redistribution of arm protein in response to that signal in embryos. This signal seems to be required to establish planar cell polarity and identity. (623 aa)
trioTrio, isoform A; Trio (trio) encodes a Rho guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) that activates the Rho-family GTPases to regulate actin structure and cell adhesion. The GEF encoded by trio acts in several signaling pathways, including Abl tyrosine kinase and BMP signaling pathways. The product of trio is involved in neural wiring (axon and dendrite patterning and synaptogenesis) and muscle development. (2263 aa)
HipkHomeodomain interacting protein kinase (Hipk) encodes a protein that belongs to the DYRK family kinases. It can modulate signaling pathways including Wingless, Notch, Hippo, Hedgehog, JNK, and cell death. It plays roles in development, proliferation and patterning of many tissues, including the eye, wing, and the embryo. (1340 aa)
gbbProtein 60A; Glass bottom boat (gbb) encodes a BMP ligand in the TGF-beta/BMP family of dimeric signaling molecules. It binds to a receptor complex to transduce signal through phosphorylation of the product of Mad. It contributes to maintain stem cell populations, control cell fate specification, proliferation, synapse growth and neuropeptide release. (455 aa)
EgfrEpidermal growth factor receptor; Binds to four ligands: Spitz, Gurken, Vein and Argos, which is an antagonist. Transduces the signal through the ras-raf-MAPK pathway. Involved in a myriad of developmental decisions. Critical for the proliferation of imaginal tissues, and for the determination of both the antero-posterior and dorso-ventral polarities of the oocyte. In the embryo, plays a role in the establishment of ventral cell fates, maintenance of amnioserosa and ventral neuroectodermal cells, germ band retraction, cell fate specification in the central nervous system and production [...] (1426 aa)
SeipinSeipin; Is a regulator of lipid catabolism essential for adipocyte differentiation. May also be involved in the central regulation of energy homeostasis (By similarity). Necessary for correct lipid storage and lipid droplets maintenance; plays a tissue-autonomous role in controlling lipid storage in adipocytes and in preventing ectopic lipid droplet formation in non-adipose tissues. May participate in phosphatidic acid metabolism and subsequently down-regulate lipogenesis. (370 aa)
Ilp6Insulin-like peptide 6 (Ilp6) encodes a protein that promotes growth during starvation. (107 aa)
ZyxZyx102.44 isoform; Zyxin (Zyx) encodes an actin cytoskeleton regulator found at cell-matrix junctions and cell-cell adherens junctions. Its roles include mechanotransduction and regulation of the Hippo signaling pathway. (585 aa)
