Drosophila beanbag (beba) encodes an insect receptor tyrosine kinase associated with reproductive niche organization

Abstract Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are cell surface proteins that govern many critical cell fate decisions and their dysregulation is a major cause of diseases such as cancer. Much of what we know about how these proteins work in cells and tissues comes from model organisms such as the fruit fly Drosophila. Here...
