Abstract excerpt
The purpose of this study was to determine whether Strongyloides stercoralis FKTF-1, a transcription factor of the FOXO/FKH family and the likely output of insulin/IGF signal transduction in that parasite, has the same or similar developmental regulatory capabilities as DAF-16, its structural ortholog in Caenorhabditis elegans. To this end, both splice variants of the fktf-1 message were expressed under the...
