Abstract excerpt
Loss-of-function mutations in Star impart a dominant rough eye phenotype and, when homozygous, are embryonic lethal with ventrolateral cuticular defects. We have cloned the Star gene and show that it encodes a novel protein with a putative transmembrane domain. Star transcript is expressed in a d...
