The torso receptor localizes as well as transduces the spatial signal specifying terminal body pattern in Drosophila.

Nature - 11 Mar 1993

Casanova J, Struhl G

Abstract excerpt

Specification of the end portions of the Drosophila body depends on the torso (tor) protein, a receptor tyrosine kinase that accumulates uniformly along the entire surface of the embryo but is activated only in the vicinity of the poles. Several genes are normally required for activating tor and appear to define a system in which a gene product tethered to the extracellular vitelline membrane at each end of the...
