Abstract
saliva (slv) transcription begins at the salivary gland placodes and c ontinues on throughout development as salivary glands invaginate and r each their final location and morphology. saliva is located cytogeneti cally in 76A/B, and encodes a 226-amino-acid protein with four hydroph obic domains. A Northern blot detects a 1.6-kb transcript throughout d evelopment. Database similarity searches reveal homology to proteins f rom Caenorhabditis, Lilium, Medicago and mouse.
