- malvolio, the Drosophila homologue of mouse NRAMP-1 (Bcg), is expressed in macrophages and in the nervous system and is required for normal taste behaviour. Rodrigues, V., Cheah, P.Y., Ray, K., Chia, W. EMBO J. (1995)
- Immunolocalisation of the D. melanogaster Nramp homologue Malvolio to gut and Malpighian tubules provides evidence that Malvolio and Nramp2 are orthologous. Folwell, J.L., Barton, C.H., Shepherd, D. J. Exp. Biol. (2006)
- Functional complementation of the malvolio mutation in the taste pathway of Drosophila melanogaster by the human natural resistance-associated macrophage protein 1 (Nramp-1). D'Souza, J., Cheah, P.Y., Gros, P., Chia, W., Rodrigues, V. J. Exp. Biol. (1999)
