Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
Based on sequence similarity, it is predicted to have molecular function: GTPase activity.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: regulation of embryonic cell shape; gastrulation involving germ band extension.
21 alleles are reported.
The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with: amnioproctodeal invagination; gonad; nurse cell ring canal; egg chamber; ventral furrow.
It has one annotated transcript and one annotated polypeptide.
Protein features are: G protein alpha subunit, helical insertion; G-protein alpha subunit, group 12; Guanine nucleotide binding protein (G-protein), alpha subunit.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of moderately high expression to a trough of low expression.
Peak expression observed within 00-18 hour embryonic stages, in adult female stages.
