Survival, Movement, and Lifespan: Decoding the Roles of Patched-Related in Drosophila melanogaster.

Patched-related (Ptr) is a transmembrane protein implicated in developmental processes in Drosophila melanogaster, yet its precise role remains incompletely understood. Here, we use Ptr23c null mutants to investigate the functional significance of Ptr through the entire life cycle monitoring surviva... View More
