Enables the directed movement of GDP-fucose into, out of, within or between cells. GDP-fucose is a substance composed of fucose in glycosidic linkage with guanosine diphosphate.

lymph gland plasmatocyte cell differentiation

The process whereby a relatively unspecialized larval lymph gland-derived hemocyte precursor cell acquires the specialized features of the phagocytic blood-cell type, the plasmatocyte.

Catalysis of the transfer of a phosphate group, usually from ATP, to a substrate molecule.

Enables the directed movement of GDP-mannose into, out of, within or between cells. GDP-mannose is a substance composed of mannose in glycosidic linkage with guanosine diphosphate.

Enables the directed movement of UDP-galactose into, out of, within or between cells. UDP-galactose is a substance composed of galactose in glycosidic linkage with uridine diphosphate.

Catalysis of the reaction: ATP + 1-phosphatidyl-1D-myo-inositol = ADP + 1-phosphatidyl-1D-myo-inositol 3-phosphate.

Catalysis of the phosphorylation of phosphatidylinositol phosphate to produce phosphatidylinositol bisphosphate.

Ensuring that a tube is of the correct length and diameter. Tube size must be maintained not only during tube formation, but also throughout development in order to maintain functionality as the animal grows.

Catalysis of the reaction: ATP + 1-phosphatidyl-1D-myo-inositol 4-phosphate = ADP + 1-phosphatidyl-1D-myo-inositol 4,5-bisphosphate.

Ensuring that an epithelial tracheal tube is of the correct length and diameter. Tracheal tubes undergo highly regulated tube-size increases during development, expanding up to 40 times their initial size by the end of larval life. Tube size appears to be controlled by regulation of apical membrane expansion and secretion, rather than by changes in cell number, size or shape.

regulation of tracheal tube architecture

Ensuring that tracheal cells form and maintain tubular structures with the correct size and shape for their position in the network. This is essential for efficient flow of gases through the tracheal network.
