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.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: bristle development; antennal morphogenesis; positive regulation of Notch signaling pathway; leg disc development; imaginal disc-derived leg morphogenesis; elongation of arista core; negative regulation of transcription, DNA-dependent.
28 alleles are reported.
The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with 18 unique terms, many of which group under: adult segment; organ system subdivision; adult mesothoracic segment; appendage segment; external compound sense organ; antennal segment; compound cell cluster organ; unguis; integumentary plate; mesothoracic preepisternum.
It has one annotated transcript and one annotated polypeptide.
Protein features are: Helix-turn-helix motif, lambda-like repressor; Homeobox; Homeobox, conserved site; Homeodomain-like; Homeodomain-related; Paired-like homeodomain protein, OAR.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of moderately high expression to a trough of very low expression.
Peak expression observed within 12-18 embryonic stages.
