Abstract excerpt
The Drosophila gene Serrate (Ser) encodes a transmembrane protein with 14 epidermal growth factor--like repeats in its extracellular domain, which is required for the control of cell proliferation and pattern formation during wing development. Flies hetero- or homozygous for the dominant mutation SerD exhibit scalloping of the wing margin due to cell death during pupal stages. SerD is associated with an insertion...
