High impact information on mnd

  • We propose that in response to amino acid uptake by the transporter encoded by minidiscs, the fat body secretes a diffusible factor required for imaginal disc proliferation [1].
  • minidiscs encodes a putative amino acid transporter subunit required non-autonomously for imaginal cell proliferation [1].
  • JhI-21 is a novel Drosophila gene, and minidiscs (mnd) is a gene that was identified earlier [2].
 

Other interactions of mnd

  • Following eclosion, transcripts from JhI-21 and mnd are synthesized in ovarian nurse cells and subsequently sequestered in the mature egg [2].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of mnd
