Flamingo

also known as starry night

The names of two core planar polarity proteins (Van Gogh and Starry Night) are inspired by the famous Dutch artist. This is likely due to the phenotype of the swirling hairs exhibited by the mutants of these proteins; that are reminiscent of the swirling lights and skies depicted in Van Gogh's paintings.
