DrosophilaVertebrate Genes in Development:
BICOID-like hox
orthodenticle
Definition:
Function:
orthodenticle (otd) encodes homeodomain-containing transcription
factor (paired-group-like), but OTD lacks a paired domain. otd is
essential for defining the antennal segment, which determines both the
eye and the antenna, as well as parts of the brain.
Protein:
OTD is homeodomain-containing transcription factor (paired-group-like),
but it lacks a paired domain.

purpuratus)
