Drosophila tinman

Akasaka T, KUnedinst S, Ocorr K, Bustamante EL, Kim SK, Bodmer R. (2006) The ATP-sensitive potassiiun (KATP) channel-encoded dSUR gene is required for Drosophila heart function and is regulated by tinman. Proc Natl AcadSci USA 103, 11999-2004. 

Significant progress has been made in unraveling the genetic and molecular processes that control the development of the mesoderm in Drosophila. Three meso-dermally expressed genes, twist, tinman, and meJ2, have been found to play key...
