Description
Product Characteristics: As a transcription factor, exd acts with the selector homeodomain proteins altering the regulation of downstream target genes such as wingless, teashirt and decapentaplegic. Thus exd affects segmental identity.
Target Information: Transcription factor which acts with the selector homeodomain proteins altering the regulation of downstream target genes such as wingless (wg), teashirt (tsh) and decapentaplegic (dpp), thus affecting segmental identity. Delimits the eye field and prevent inappropriate eye development. Required for proper localization of chordotonal organs within the peripheral nervous system. {ECO:0000269:PubMed:7914871, ECO:0000269:PubMed:8100142, ECO:0000269:PubMed:8104703, ECO:0000269:PubMed:9346235, ECO:0000269:PubMed:9450936, ECO:0000269:PubMed:9463350}
