Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
Based on sequence similarity, it is predicted to have molecular function: sequence-specific DNA binding transcription factor activity; protein heterodimerization activity.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: metamorphosis; molting cycle, chitin-based cuticle; regulation of transcription, DNA-dependent; pupation; pupariation.
18 alleles are reported.
The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with 13 unique terms, many of which group under: organ system subdivision; adult segment; thoracic segment; organ system; adult mesothoracic segment; larval thorax; dorsal thoracic disc; adult cuticle; spiracle; cephalopharyngeal skeleton.
It has 3 annotated transcripts and 3 annotated polypeptides.
Protein features are: Basic-leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factor; bZIP transcription factor, bZIP-1.
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 06-24 hour embryonic stages, at stages throughout the larval period, at stages throughout the pupal period, in adult male stages.
