Protein
14-3-3 protein zeta
Organism
Drosophila melanogaster
Function
Required in Raf-dependent cell proliferation and photoreceptor differentiation during eye development (PubMed:9159395). Acts upstream of Raf and downstream of Ras, and is essential for viability (PubMed:9159395). Acts as a negative regulator of the slo calcium channel via its interaction with slo-binding protein slob (PubMed:10230800). Inhibits yki activity by restricting its nuclear localization (PubMed:19900439). Binds to and promotes the activity of phosphoinositide 3-kinase Pi3K68D which converts phosphatidylinositol to phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate and promotes maturation of early endosomes (PubMed:27015288).
Similarity
Belongs to the 14-3-3 family.
