High impact information on CAP

  • Identification of DCAP, a drosophila homolog of a glucose transport regulatory complex [1].
  • Through alternative splicing, the DCAP gene generates a set of five different proteins with unique N-terminal sequences and a common C-terminal SH3 domain [1].
  • DCAP is predominantly expressed in the midgut and fat bodies of late-stage embryos, suggesting a role in insulin-mediated glucose transport in these organs [1].
