High impact information on mxp

RNA interference with maxillopedia double-stranded RNA results in phenocopies of mxp mutant phenotypes ranging from partial to complete transformations [1].

Biological context of mxp

The similar phenotype produced by mutations in the Tribolium castaneum homeotic complex (HOMC) gene maxillopedia (mxp) has led to suggestions that the two genes may be orthologous [2].
