| Gene details (from Flybase) | It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster. There is experimental evidence that it has the molecular function: beta-alanyl-dopamine synthase activity. There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: cuticle pigmentation; chitin-based cuticle tanning; regulation of adult chitin-containing cuticle pigmentation; dopamine metabolic process; negative regulation of melanin biosynthetic process; histamine metabolic process; amino acid adenylylation by nonribosomal peptide synthase. 55 alleles are reported. The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with: trident; retina; embryonic/larval spiracle; adult cuticle; mesothoracic tergum; wing; synaptic vesicle. It has one annotated transcript and one annotated polypeptide. Protein features are: AMP-binding, conserved site; AMP-dependent synthetase/ligase; Acyl carrier protein-like; Phosphopantetheine-binding. Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of very high expression to a trough of extremely low expression. Peak expression observed during late larval stages, at stages throughout the pupal period. . |
