The cadherin Fat2 is required for planar cell polarity in the Drosophila ovary.

Development (Cambridge, England) - 1 Dec 2009

Viktorinová Ivana, König Tina, Schlichting Karin, Dahmann Christian

Abstract excerpt

Planar cell polarity is an important characteristic of many epithelia. In the Drosophila wing, eye and abdomen, establishment of planar cell polarity requires the core planar cell polarity genes and two cadherins, Fat and Dachsous. Drosophila Fat2 is a cadherin related to Fat; however, its role during planar cell polarity has not been studied. Here, we have generated mutations in fat2 and show that Fat2 is...
