Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
There is experimental evidence that it has the molecular function: cation channel activity.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: endosomal lumen acidification; lateral inhibition; endosome organization; cell-cell adhesion; mesoderm development.
29 alleles are reported.
The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with 15 unique terms, many of which group under: organ system; non-connected developing system; portion of tissue; somatic cell; multicellular structure; sense organ; sensillum; organ system subdivision; presumptive embryonic/larval nervous system; nervous system.
It has one annotated transcript and one annotated polypeptide.
Protein features are: Aquaporin; Aquaporin-like; Major intrinsic protein; Major intrinsic protein, conserved site.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of very high expression to a trough of very low expression.
Peak expression observed within 00-12 hour embryonic stages.
