TEXT

Cloning and Expression

The 'dispatched' (disp) gene is required for long-range hedgehog signaling in Drosophila. By screening mouse cDNA libraries using ESTs identified in database searches, Ma et al. (2002) isolated cDNAs encoding 2 murine homologs of dispatched, which they called Dispa (607502) and Dispb. They predicted that the dispatched proteins all have 12 transmembrane spans with cytoplasmic N and C termini.


Mapping

The International Radiation Hybrid Mapping Consortium mapped the DISP2 gene to chromosome 15 (RH77781).
