Abstract excerpt
The serpent (srp) gene, also known as ABF, codes for a GATA-like transcription factor and is involved in the transcription activation of Adh in the larval fat body or adipose tissue. Here, we describe the tissue-specific distribution of SRP protein in various stages of embryonic development and describe srp's role in early fat-cell development. SRP protein was detected in the progenitor fat-body cells and is...
