General Information
Term signal sequence ID (Ontology) FBcv:0005034 (FlyBase CV)
Definition A peptide sequence that forms part of the protein product encoded by a transgenic locus or modified endogenous locus and which is used to target the tagged protein to the secretory pathway. This results in the protein either being secreted or inserted into a cellular membrane, depending on the presence of other specific sequences in the tagged protein. The signal sequence must be fused to the N-terminal end of the tagged protein.
