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 [...]

Ecdysone receptor (EcR) encodes a protein that interacts with the product of usp to form the nuclear ecdysone receptor heterodimer, which modulates, in conjunction with co-activators and co-repressors, the activities of hundreds of genes in a tissue- and stage-specific way. EcR is widely expressed in embryonic and larval tissues and in some adult tissues where its activities (modulated by the hormone ecdysone) trigger both molting and metamorphosis.

Hormone receptor-like in 38 (Hr38) encodes a protein that can heterodimerize with the U adult cuticle and for the proper uptake and storage of glycogen in larvae; Belongs to the nuclear hormone receptor family. NR4 subfamily.

Epidermal 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 [...]

Smrter, isoform G; It is involved in the biological process described with: wing disc development; regulation of mitotic cell cycle; negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; ovarian follicle cell development.

ADP-ribosylation factor-like protein 8; Required for normal functioning of the late endocytic pathway including lysosome motility and late endosome-lysosome fusion. Not required for the delivery of lysosomal membrane protein-containing vesicles to late endosomes. In larval motorneurons, mediates the anterograde axonal long-range transport of presynaptic lysosome-related vesicles required for presynaptic biogenesis and synaptic function. Essential role in chromosome segregation.

Myocyte-specific enhancer factor 2; Transcription factor that could be a key player in early mesoderm differentiation and may be required for subsequent cell fate specifications within the somatic and visceral/heart mesodermal layers. Essential for myoblast fusion and consequently muscle formation in adults. During embryonic and pupal development, binds to the enhancer of the myoblast fusion gene sing and activates its transcription. Belongs to the MEF2 family.

Brain-specific homeobox protein; DNA binding protein that function as transcriptional activator (By similarity). May play a role in the determination and function of cell types in the brain; Belongs to the distal-less homeobox family.

Protein hunchback; Gap class segmentation protein that controls development of head structures; Belongs to the hunchback C2H2-type zinc-finger protein family.
