Moleskin is essential for the formation of the myotendinous junction in Drosophila.

Developmental biology - 15 Nov 2011

Liu Ze Cindy, Geisbrecht Erika R

Abstract excerpt

It is the precise connectivity between skeletal muscles and their corresponding tendon cells to form a functional myotendinous junction (MTJ) that allows for the force generation required for muscle contraction and organismal movement. The Drosophila MTJ is composed of secreted extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins deposited between integrin-mediated hemi-adherens junctions on the surface of muscle and tendon...
