Raf
Foreign sequence; species == Homo sapiens; gene == RAF1; HGNC:9829.
A constitutively active form of Hsap\RAF1 can trigger tll and hkb transcription in Drosophila embryos and can specify elements of the terminal body pattern. Results indicate a strong functional conservation between Drosophila and mammalian raf proteins and argues the localised activity of phl normally carries spatial information specifying the end portions of the body.
