The Drosophila transglutaminase gene (CG7356) encodes two transglutaminases, dTG-A and dTG-B. To understand the roles of dTG-B during the development of the fly, we examined phenotypes induced through ectopic expression of dTG-B. Overexpression of dTG-B induced rough eye and extra wing crossvein phenotypes. These phenotypes were similar to those observed in the case of targeted overexpression of dTG-A.
