Abstract excerpt
Antibodies to the plant glycoprotein horseradish peroxidase (HRP) are used extensively to identify neurons in Drosophila and other insects. We are interested in characterizing the gene product(s) recognized by anti-HRP antibodies because it may be important for nervous system function and/or development. Here we identify and purify from adult Drosophila heads an anti-HRP-reactive Mr 42K glycoprotein that is...
