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; translation repressor activity; protein binding; mRNA 3'-UTR binding; sequence-specific enhancer binding RNA polymerase II transcription factor activity.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: oogenesis; segment polarity determination; positive regulation of transcription from RNA polymerase II promoter; negative regulation of translation; anterior region determination.
421 alleles are reported.
The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with 51 unique terms, many of which group under: embryonic segment; embryonic abdomen; organ system; abdominal ventral denticle belt; cephalopharyngeal skeleton; thoracic segment; organ system subdivision; pharyngeal sclerite; spiracle; extended germ band embryo.
It has 5 annotated transcripts and 5 annotated polypeptides.
Protein features are: Homeobox; Homeobox, conserved site; Homeodomain-like; Homeodomain-related.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of high expression to a trough of extremely low expression.
Peak expression observed within 00-06 hour embryonic stages.
