Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
There is experimental evidence that it has the molecular function: ecdysteroid hormone receptor activity; protein binding; protein heterodimerization activity; repressing transcription factor binding.
There is experimental evidence for 40 unique biological process terms, many of which group under: anatomical structure development; biological regulation; cellular process involved in reproduction; multicellular organismal reproductive process; organ development; cellular component organization or biogenesis; embryonic development via the syncytial blastoderm; central nervous system development; post-embryonic organ morphogenesis; determination of adult lifespan; neuron maturation; locomotory behavior; catabolic process; response to cocaine; ecdysis, chitin-based cuticle; prepupal development; memory.
140 alleles are reported.
The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with 58 unique terms, many of which group under: organ system; organ system subdivision; adult segment; cuticle; imaginal precursor; cephalopharyngeal skeleton; female germline cyst; portion of tissue; egg; extended germ band embryo; cytoplasmic part; spiracle; external compound sense organ; gland.
It has 6 annotated transcripts and 6 annotated polypeptides.
Protein features are: Ecdysteroid receptor; Nuclear hormone receptor, ligand-binding; Nuclear hormone receptor, ligand-binding, core; Steroid hormone receptor; Zinc finger, NHR/GATA-type; Zinc finger, nuclear hormone receptor-type.
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 06-18 hour embryonic stages, during late larval stages, during early pupal stages.
