Stac3 regulates excitation-contraction coupling (EC coupling) in vertebrate skeletal muscles by regulating the L-type voltage-gated calcium channel (Ca<sub>v</sub> channel). Recently a <i>stac</i>-like gene, <i>Dstac</i>, was identified in <i>Drosophila</i> and found to be expressed by both a subset of neurons and muscles. Here, we show that Dstac and Dmca1D, the <i>Drosophila</i> L-type Ca<sub>v</sub> channel, are necessary for normal locomotion by larvae. Immunolabeling with specific antibodie ...[more]
