Abstract excerpt
Studies in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster and the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans have revealed that components of the insulin signaling pathway have been highly conserved during evolution. Genetic analysis in Drosophila suggests that structural conservation also extends to the functional level. Flies carrying mutations that reduce insulin signaling have a growth deficiency phenotype similar to that seen...
