A narrow gene encoding an extracellular matrix is involved in the formation of the footpad hairs in Drosophila melanogaster

Drosophila melanogaster is an insect that can walk on smooth surfaces, and its tarsal segments bear a pair of footpads that are equipped with spatulate-shaped hairs (setae). We found that narrow (B) ( nw (B) ) mutants, an allele of the nw gene, were unable to climb smooth surfaces, due to the destru...
