Dror, a potential neurotrophic receptor gene, encodes a Drosophila homolog of the vertebrate Ror family of Trk-related receptor tyrosine kinases.
1 Aug 1993
Abstract excerpt
We have identified a Drosophila gene, Dror, which encodes a putative receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) and maps to cytological location 31B/C on the second chromosome. In embryos, this gene is expressed specifically in the developing nervous system. The Dror protein appears to be a homolog of two human RTKs, Ror1 and Ror2. Dror and Ror1 proteins share 36% amino acid identity in their extracellular domains and 61%...
