Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
There is experimental evidence that it has the molecular function: protein heterodimerization activity.
There is experimental evidence for 20 unique biological process terms, many of which group under: anatomical structure development; organ morphogenesis; sensory organ development; biological regulation; post-embryonic appendage morphogenesis; embryonic development via the syncytial blastoderm; post-embryonic organ morphogenesis; cell-cell signaling; cellular process involved in reproduction; cell proliferation; compound eye cone cell differentiation; neuromuscular process; behavioral interaction between organisms; locomotion.
98 alleles are reported.
The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with 42 unique terms, many of which group under: organ system subdivision; adult segment; primordium; external compound sense organ; organ system; female germline cyst; midgut constriction; adult mesothoracic segment; non-connected developing system; nervous system.
It has one annotated transcript and one annotated polypeptide.
Protein features are: Helix-loop-helix DNA-binding; Helix-loop-helix DNA-binding domain.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of very high expression to a trough of moderate expression.
Peak expression observed within 00-18 hour embryonic stages.
