The Drosophila castor gene is involved in postembryonic brain development.

Mechanisms of development - 1 May 2001

Hitier R, Chaminade M, Préat T

Abstract excerpt

castor (cas) encodes a zink finger protein expressed in a subset of Drosophila embryonic neuroglioblasts where it controls neuronal differentiation. We show here that cas is expressed at larval and pupal stages in brain cell clusters where it participates in the elaboration of the adult structures. In particular using the MARCM system (mosaic analysis with a repressible cell marker), we show that cas is required...
