| Function | Probable ligand that binds to the torso receptor. Implicated in a receptor tyrosine kinase signaling pathway that specifies terminal cell fate. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:8107870, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8276237}. |
| Subcellular Location | Secreted {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12814553, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8107870}. Note=Is a component of the vitelline membrane (VM, the inner layer of the eggshell). |
| Tissue Specificity | Restricted to specialized categories of follicle cells localized at the poles of the egg chamber. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:8107870, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8276237}. |
