Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
There is experimental evidence that it has the molecular function: Notch binding.
There is experimental evidence for 26 unique biological process terms, many of which group under: anatomical structure development; biological regulation; multicellular organismal reproductive process; cellular process involved in reproduction; post-embryonic appendage morphogenesis; post-embryonic organ morphogenesis; cellular component organization or biogenesis; sensory organ development; leg morphogenesis; localization.
449 alleles are reported.
The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with 110 unique terms, many of which group under: organ system subdivision; adult segment; external compound sense organ; nervous system; peripheral nervous system; primordium; embryonic/larval neuron; female germline cyst; adult mesothoracic segment; ectoderm derivative.
It has 3 annotated transcripts and 3 annotated polypeptides.
Protein features are: Delta/Serrate/lag-2 (DSL) protein; EGF; EGF calcium-binding; EGF-like calcium-binding; EGF-like calcium-binding, conserved site; EGF-like region, conserved site; EGF-type aspartate/asparagine hydroxylation site; Epidermal growth factor-like; Epidermal growth factor-like, type 3; Notch ligand, N-terminal.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of very high expression to a trough of low expression.
Peak expression observed within 00-06 hour embryonic stages.
