Abstract excerpt
EGFR signaling has been shown in recent years to be involved in the determination, differentiation and maintenance of neural and epidermal cells of the ventral midline (mesectoderm and ventromedial ectoderm). Localized activation of the TGFalpha homolog Spitz (Spi) in the mesectoderm is achieved by the products of the genes rhomboid and Star. Spi binds to its receptor, the Drosophila epidermal growth factor...
