title: A mammalian homologue of a transcript from the Drosophila pecanex locus.
abstract: The Drosophila pecanex locus contains a maternal-effect neurogenic gene. A homologue of this gene has not yet been described in mammals or other organisms. We report here a partial complementary DNA clone from rat brain mRNA that encodes sequences which are very similar (83% over 189 amino acids) to a portion of sequence encoded by a transcript from the Drosophila pecanex locus [LaBonne, S.G., Sunitha, I and Mahowald, A.P. (1989) Dev. Biology 136: 1-161].
