Flamingo, a seven-pass transmembrane cadherin, regulates planar cell polarity under the control of Frizzled

We identified a seven-pass transmembrane receptor of the cadherin superfamily, designated Flamingo (Fmi), localized at cell-cell boundaries in the Drosophila wing. In the absence of Fmi, planar polarity was distorted. Before morphological polarization of wing cells along the proximal-distal (P-D) ax...
