Protein
Raf homolog serine/threonine-protein kinase Raf
Organism
Drosophila melanogaster
Function
Serine/threonine kinase required in the early embryo for the formation of terminal structure (PubMed:3135183, PubMed:8423783). Also required during the proliferation of imaginal cells (PubMed:3135183). May act downstream of Ras85D in the tor signal transduction pathway (PubMed:8423783). During larval development, mediates Ptth/tor signaling leading to the production of ecdysone, a hormone required for the initiation of metamorphosis (PubMed:19965758).
Similarity
Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. TKL Ser/Thr protein kinase family. RAF subfamily.
