1.1.6. Cad86C
Cad86C is not expressed (Fig. 1F1 and F2) until stage 10B, when
it is strongly detected in the roof cells and in a ventral band, corresponding
to high Broad levels (Fig. 1F3–F6) (Dorman et al., 2004).
During stages 11 and 12, a strong hybridization signal is detected
in the roof cells and the midline cells separating the roof primordia.
Overexpression of Cad86C in the imaginal discs is sufficient to
cause apical constriction (Schlichting and Dahmann, 2008), suggesting
that it may be involved in apical constriction of the roof
cells during dorsal appendage formation.
