Abstract excerpt
The linotte mutant was isolated on the basis of its learning and memory deficit. Interestingly, linotte individuals carrying a null mutation are viable, indicating that the linotte gene is not required for vital functions. We show here that the linotte gene encodes a putative receptor tyrosine kinase, homologous to the human protein RYK. These products are unique among receptor tyrosine kinases, since they...
