Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
Based on sequence similarity, it is predicted to have molecular function: translation elongation factor activity.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: mitotic spindle elongation; mitotic spindle organization.
7 alleles are reported.
No phenotypic data is available.
It has 3 annotated transcripts and 3 annotated polypeptides.
Protein features are: Elongation factor G/III/V; Protein synthesis factor, GTP-binding; Ribosomal protein S5 domain 2-type fold; Ribosomal protein S5 domain 2-type fold, subgroup; Small GTP-binding protein domain; Translation elongation factor EFG/EF2, C-terminal; Translation elongation factor EFG/EF2, domain IV; Translation elongation factor EFTu/EF1A, domain 2; Translation elongation/initiation factor/Ribosomal, beta-barrel.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of extremely high expression to a trough of very high expression.
Peak expression observed at stages throughout embryogenesis, at stages throughout the larval period, during early pupal stages, in adult female stages.
