Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
Based on sequence similarity, it is predicted to have molecular function: ubiquitin-protein ligase activity.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: jump response; response to anesthetic; flight behavior; axonogenesis; axon target recognition; photoreceptor cell morphogenesis; grooming behavior.
25 alleles are reported.
The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with 26 unique terms, many of which group under: organ system subdivision; external compound sense organ; peripheral nervous system; adult segment; nervous system; adult mesothoracic segment; multi-cell-component structure; indirect flight muscle; synaptic neuropil subdomain; rhabdomere R7.
It has 3 annotated transcripts and 3 annotated polypeptides.
Protein features are: Ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme, E2; Ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme, active site; Ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme/RWD-like.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of very high expression to a trough of moderately high expression.
Peak expression observed within 00-06 hour embryonic stages, during early pupal stages.
