... blood and urine. Herein, we demonstrate that their Drosophila orthologs Kirre (Duf)and Sns are co-expressed within binucleate garland cell nephrocytes (GCNs)that contribute to detoxification of the insect hemolymph by uptake of molecules through an SD-like nephrocyte diaphragm (ND) into labyrinthine...

These interactions require members of the immunoglobulin superfamily (IgSF), with Kin-of-IrreC (Kirre) and Roughest (Rst) functioning redundantly in the founder cell and Sticks-and-stones (Sns) serving as their ligand in the FCMs...
