Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (InsP(3)R) is an InsP(3) gated intracellular Ca(2+)-release channel. Characterization of Drosophila mutants for the InsP(3)R has demonstrated that InsP(3)-mediated Ca(2+) release is required in Drosophila larvae for growth and viability. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: To understand the molecular basis of these growth defects a genome wide microarray analysis...
