Abstract excerpt
Frazzled is a Netrin-dependent chemoattractive receptor required for axon pathway formation in the developing Drosophila embryonic CNS. The cytoplasmic domain is important and contains three conserved P-motifs (P1, P2, and P3) thought to initiate intracellular signaling cascades and to crosstalk with other receptors during axon pathway formation. Here, we rescue homozygous frazzled embryos by pan-neurally...
