Abstract excerpt

Regulated activation of receptor tyrosine kinases depends both on the presence of the receptors at the cell surface and on the availability of their ligands. In Drosophila the torso (tor) tyrosine kinase receptor is distributed along the surface of the embryo but it is only activated at the poles...
