Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
There is experimental evidence that it has the molecular function: choline O-acetyltransferase activity.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: neuromuscular synaptic transmission.
32 alleles are reported.
The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with: motor neuron; dorsal medial muscle; dendrite.
It has 2 annotated transcripts and 2 annotated polypeptides.
Protein features are: Acyltransferase ChoActase/COT/CPT.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of moderately high expression to a trough of extremely low expression.
Peak expression observed within 18-24 hour embryonic stages, during early larval stages.
