Isoprenoids control germ cell migration downstream of HMGCoA reductase.

Developmental cell - 1 Feb 2004

Santos Ana C, Lehmann Ruth

Abstract excerpt

3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase (HMGCoAr) provides attractive cues to Drosophila germ cells, guiding them toward the embryonic gonad. However, it remains unclear how HMGCoAr mediates this attraction. In a genomic analysis of the HMGCoAr pathway, we found that the fly genome lacks...
