Research Abstract |
Fat is an atypical cadherin that regulates growth and planer cell polarity in Drosophila development. In this study, we focused on the physiological roles of extracellular phosphorylation of Fat cadherin domains, by using transgenic flies. We found that phosphorylation of the third cadherin domain of Fat is required for normal development in Drosophila.
