Cytomegalovirus UL144 protein |
||
symbol: 18w. This Drosophila melanogaster protein, encoded by gene CG8896, has been identified by Eldon et al (1994). It is named for its unique segmental expression pattern in Drosophila embryos and expression in cells that migrate extensively. The protein is a transmembrane receptor related to IL1R and Toll receptor. In databanks Toll-2 is used synonymously.
Mutations in 18-wheeler cause death during larval development and early adulthood. Escaping mutant adults often display leg, antenna, and wing deformities, presumably resulting from improper eversion of imaginal discs. 18-wheeler has been implicated in epithelial cell
