gene symbol: Mabi. The Drosophila melanogaster gene (CG15479) encoding Mabiki has been identified by Tanaka et al (2014). Mabiki is involved in the repair of the head patterning defects caused by extra copies of bicoid and functions together with cell death mechanisms dependent on caspases (such as reaper) to eliminate excessive cells in the expanded head region of bicoid mutants.
