Spitz group








rhomboid








Definition:



Function:



rhomboid is involved at the very earliest stage in morphogenesis, prior
to fertilization, when the dorsoventral axis in the oocyte is determined.




Rhomboid also appears to be an essential element in the development
of the extremely delicate and fascinating vein structure of the insect
wing.
