Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
Its molecular function is unknown.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: blastoderm segmentation; establishment of oocyte nucleus localization involved in oocyte dorsal/ventral axis specification; bicoid mRNA localization; intracellular mRNA localization; dorsal/ventral pattern formation; ER to Golgi vesicle-mediated transport; vesicle-mediated transport; anterior/posterior pattern formation; dorsal appendage formation; pole plasm oskar mRNA localization.
12 alleles are reported.
The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with 14 unique terms, many of which group under: organ system subdivision; organ system; egg; external compound sense organ; female germline cyst; adult segment; sensillum; adult mesothoracic segment; primordium; cell part.
It has 2 annotated transcripts and 2 annotated polypeptides.
Protein features are: Cornichon.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of high expression to a trough of moderately high expression.
Peak expression observed within 00-18 hour embryonic stages, during late larval stages, during early pupal stages.
