We have isolated and characterized mutations in Drosophila neurotactin, a gene that encodes a cell adhesion protein widely expressed during neural development. Analysis of both loss and gain of gene function conditions during embryonic and postembryonic development revealed specific requirements for neurotactin during axon outgrowth, fasciculation, and guidance. Furthermore, embryos of some double mutant...
