description | Protein tamozhennic (means 'customs officer' in Russian, also known as Tamo) has an essential role during oogenesis and embryogenesis. Tamo interacts with Dorsal and proteins of the nuclear import machinery. Translocation of the Rel protein Dorsal from the cytoplasm to the nucleus in a graded manner directs the development of the dorsal-ventral axis in Drosophila. Tamo is likely to have a role in nuclear import of Dorsal and other proteins []. |
