UniprotKB/SwissProt ID: P06607 (P06607)
Gene Name:
Yp3
Organism: Drosophila melanogaster (Fruit fly)
Function: Vitellogenin is the major yolk protein of eggs where it is used as a food source during embryogenesis. Vitellogenins and their receptor yl/yolkless are required for maintenance of microtubule plus-end orientation towards the posterior pole of oocytes (PubMed:33891588). Involved in polarized localization of germ plasm components, such as osk mRNA and vas protein, to the oocyte posterior cortex (PubMed:33891588). Receptor-mediated endocytosis by yl/yolkless is crucial for actin reorganization, mediated by osk isoform A/Long, required to anchor germ plasm components to the oocyte cortex (PubMed:33891588)
