Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
There is experimental evidence that it has the molecular function: protein binding.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: oocyte microtubule cytoskeleton polarization; intracellular mRNA localization; germarium-derived oocyte fate determination; oogenesis; mRNA transport; RNA transport; germarium-derived egg chamber formation.
64 alleles are reported.
The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with 27 unique terms, many of which group under: organ system; female germline cyst; egg; hemocyte; organ system subdivision; somatic cell; multicellular structure; somatic stem cell; germarium; nuclear part; embryonic/larval hemocoel; embryonic head; blastoderm embryo; presumptive embryonic/larval nervous system; embryonic thorax; cytoplasmic part; external compound sense organ.
It has 2 annotated transcripts and 2 annotated polypeptides.
Protein features are: Bicaudal-D protein, microtubule-associated.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of high expression to a trough of moderate expression.
Peak expression observed within 00-06 hour embryonic stages, in adult female stages.
