The Drosophila toll gene functions zygotically and is necessary for proper motoneuron and muscle development.

Developmental biology - 1 May 1995

Halfon M S, Hashimoto C, Keshishian H

Abstract excerpt

Toll is a maternally required Drosophila gene that encodes a transmembrane protein with an important function in embryonic dorsal-ventral patterning. The Toll protein is widely expressed zygotically, but its roles in late embryo-genesis have not been described in detail. We have examined the expression of Toll protein in the late embryonic central nervous system and somatic musculature. Toll is expressed in a...
