FB:FBgn0004049 | Gene Name | yrt |
| Organism | Drosophila melanogaster | Automated Description | yurt (yrt) encodes a membrane-associated protein. It contributes to apical-basal polarity and permeability of septate junctions. In differentiating epithelial cells, it counteracts apical polarity proteins to sustain lateral membrane stability and apical-basal polarity. In fully differentiated cells, the product of yrt acts as a negative regulatory component of the crb complex and limits apical membrane growth. |
