Receptor tyrosine kinases: genetic evidence for their role in Drosophila and mouse development.

Trends in genetics : TIG - 1 Nov 1990

Pawson T, Bernstein A

Abstract excerpt

Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) and their ligands are important components of the signalling pathways by which cells interact. This review summarizes a growing body of genetic evidence showing that many developmentally important mutations in Drosophila and the mouse are in the genes that encode...
