| 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: antifungal humoral response; nervous system development; dorsal/ventral axis specification; oogenesis; antimicrobial humoral response; positive regulation of antifungal peptide biosynthetic process; response to DNA damage stimulus; dorsal appendage formation; phagocytosis, engulfment. 131 alleles are reported. The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with 16 unique terms, many of which group under: organ system; embryonic/larval hemocoel; portion of tissue; hemocyte; non-connected developing system; multicellular structure; cuticle; egg; podocyte; spiracle. It has 4 annotated transcripts and 4 annotated polypeptides. Protein features are: Ankyrin repeat; Ankyrin repeat-containing domain. 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 and 18-24 hour embryonic stages. . |
