The CPEB protein Orb2 has multiple functions during spermatogenesis in Drosophila melanogaster.
Cytoplasmic Polyadenylation Element Binding (CPEB) proteins are translational regulators that can either activate or repress translation depending on the target mRNA and the specific biological context. There are two CPEB subfamilies and most animals have one or more genes from each. Drosophila has...
