Abstract
We have isolated the Drosophila gene skittles (sktl) which shows homology to members of a novel family of phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate 5-kinases, including the gene product encoded by the human STM-7.I gene which has been assigned to the neurodegenerative disorder Friedreichs ataxia. In situ hybridization reveals sktl expression during oogenesis and spermatogenesis.
