Worniu, a Snail family zinc-finger protein, is required for brain development in Drosophila.

Developmental dynamics : an official publication of the American Association of Anatomists - 1 Oct 2004

Abstract excerpt

The Snail family of zinc-finger transcriptional repressors is essential for morphogenetic cell movements, mesoderm formation, and neurogenesis during embryonic development. These proteins also control cell cycle, cell death, and cancer progression. In Drosophila, three members of this protein family, Snail, Escargot, and Worniu, have essential but redundant functions in asymmetric cell division of neuroblasts. In...
