Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
There is experimental evidence that it has the molecular function: histone methyltransferase activity (H3-K27 specific); protein binding; histone methyltransferase activity.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: gene silencing; histone methylation; histone H3-K27 methylation; dendrite morphogenesis; neuron development; muscle organ development; chromatin silencing.
59 alleles are reported.
The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with 35 unique terms, many of which group under: embryonic segment; embryonic abdomen; multicellular structure; thoracic segment; adult segment; organ system subdivision; abdominal segment 7; embryonic head; embryonic thoracic segment; embryonic abdominal segment 4; abdominal segment 10; antennal segment; midgut constriction.
It has one annotated transcript and one annotated polypeptide.
Protein features are: WD40 repeat; WD40 repeat 2; WD40 repeat, conserved site; WD40 repeat, subgroup; WD40 repeat-like-containing domain; WD40-repeat-containing domain; WD40/YVTN repeat-like-containing domain.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of high expression to a trough of low expression.
Peak expression observed within 00-06 hour embryonic stages.
