Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
There is experimental evidence that it has the molecular function: protein binding; protein homodimerization activity.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: imaginal disc-derived female genitalia development; imaginal disc-derived male genitalia development; genital disc development; axon midline choice point recognition.
128 alleles are reported.
The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with 31 unique terms, many of which group under: organ system subdivision; organ system; adult segment; gland; imaginal precursor; portion of tissue; hub cell; larval abdominal segment 8; nervous system; external compound sense organ; female germline cyst.
It has 3 annotated transcripts and 3 annotated polypeptides.
Protein features are: DM DNA-binding; Doublesex dimerisation.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of moderate expression to a trough of extremely low expression.
Peak expression observed during early pupal stages, in adult male stages.
