High impact information on Glt

Glutactin, a novel Drosophila basement membrane-related glycoprotein with sequence similarity to serine esterases [1].
Glutactin, a new acidic sulfated glycoprotein, was isolated from Drosophila Kc cell culture media [1].
The amino and carboxyl domains of glutactin are separated by 13 contiguous threonine residues [1].
Neurotactin therefore belongs to a growing group of proteins including Drosophila glutactin and thyroglobulins that are known to share this serine esterase protein domain motif without retaining the active center of the enzyme [2].
