Characterization of <i>Gfat1</i> (<i>zeppelin</i>) and <i>Gfat2</i>, Essential Paralogous Genes Which Encode the Enzymes That Catalyze the Rate-Limiting Step in the Hexosamine Biosynthetic Pathway in <i>Drosophila melanogaster</i>
The <i>zeppelin</i> (<i>zep</i>) locus is known for its essential role in the development of the embryonic cuticle of <i>Drosophila melanogaster</i>. We show here that <i>zep</i> encodes <i>Gfat1</i> (<i>Glutamine: Fructose-6-Phosphat...
