Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
There is experimental evidence that it has the molecular function: sequence-specific DNA binding transcription factor activity.
There is experimental evidence for 15 unique biological process terms, many of which group under: anatomical structure development; organ development; biological regulation; multicellular organismal reproductive process; multicellular organismal process; open tracheal system development; development of primary male sexual characteristics; regulation of multicellular organismal development; genital disc development; cellular process involved in reproduction; segment specification; gonadal mesoderm development; regulation of developmental process.
206 alleles are reported.
The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with 106 unique terms, many of which group under: organ system subdivision; adult segment; organ system; abdominal ventral denticle belt; thoracic segment; spiracle; late extended germ band embryo; abdominal segment 7; embryonic segment; embryonic abdomen; primordium.
It has 5 annotated transcripts and 5 annotated polypeptides.
Protein features are: Homeobox; Homeobox, conserved site; Homeobox, eukaryotic; Homeodomain-like; Homeodomain-related.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of moderate expression to a trough of very low expression.
Peak expression observed at stages throughout embryogenesis.
