Heartless, a Drosophila FGF receptor homolog, is essential for cell migration and establishment of several mesodermal lineages.

Genes & development - 1 Dec 1996

Beiman M, Shilo B Z, Volk T

Abstract excerpt

A Drosophila FGF receptor homolog (DFGF-R2/DFRI) termed Heartless (Htl) is expressed in the embryonic mesoderm. The phenotypes of null mutant embryos demonstrated that Htl is a central player that is required for the development of several mesodermal lineages. No abnormalities in the primary specification of the mesoderm were observed. The first defects were seen as irregular migration and spreading of the...
