High impact information on emp

  • Stardust (Sdt) and Discs-Large (Dlg) are membrane-associated guanylate kinases (MAGUKs) involved in the organization of supramolecular protein complexes at distinct epithelial membrane compartments in Drosophila [1].
  • During larval development, we detect emp transcripts in the epithelial cells of wing imaginal discs, in the precursor cells for adult epidermal structures [2].
  • The emp protein, as predicted from the nucleotide sequence, is 519 amino acid residues long [2].
