Annotation
| Function | Sequence-specific transcription factor which is part of a developmental regulatory system that provides cells with specific positiol identities on the anterior-posterior axis. Controls the segmental transformation of the first to the second thoracic segment (prothorax to mesothorax) and of the labial palps into maxillary palps. In embryo, required for fusion of labial lobes and development of the T1 denticle belt. In adult, expression in the head is necessary for proper development of the labium. In the first thoracic segment of the adult, required for proper development of the sex comb and to suppress improper prothoracic wing development. | ||
