Abstract excerpt
Although extensively studied biochemically, members of the Protein 4. 1 superfamily have not been as well characterized genetically. Studies of coracle, a Drosophila Protein 4.1 homologue, provide an opportunity to examine the genetic functions of this gene family. coracle was originally identifi...
