Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
It is reported to have molecular function: ubiquitin thiolesterase activity.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: compound eye retinal cell programmed cell death; ommatidial rotation; compound eye morphogenesis.
41 alleles are reported.
The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with: eye; adult thorax; dorsocentral bristle; primary pigment cell; adult abdomen; posterior notopleural bristle; cone cell; wing; ommatidium.
It has 3 annotated transcripts and 3 annotated polypeptides.
Protein features are: Peptidase C19, ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase 2.
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 at stages throughout embryogenesis, at stages throughout the pupal period.
