Protein
Segment polarity protein dishevelled
Organism
Drosophila melanogaster
Function
Required to establish coherent arrays of polarized cells and segments in embryos. Plays a role in wingless (wg) signaling, possibly through the reception of the wg signal by target cells and subsequent redistribution of arm protein in response to that signal in embryos. This signal seems to be required to establish planar cell polarity and identity.
Similarity
Belongs to the DSH family.
