Sex cells: dissecting the functions of fruitless isoforms.

Current biology : CB - 6 Jun 2006

Douglas Scott J, Levine Joel D

Abstract excerpt

Behavioral and developmental sexual dimorphism in fruitflies is related to male-specific expression of protein isoforms encoded by the fruitless gene. A recent study shows that the wide-scale effects of fruitless are associated with differential functions of individual protein isoforms.
