Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
There is experimental evidence that it has the molecular function: Wnt-protein binding; protein kinase activity.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: establishment of imaginal disc-derived wing hair orientation; cell-cell signaling; imaginal disc-derived wing vein specification; establishment of epithelial cell apical/basal polarity; regulation of tube length, open tracheal system; imaginal disc growth; imaginal disc-derived leg joint morphogenesis; Wnt receptor signaling pathway, planar cell polarity pathway.
50 alleles are reported.
The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with 29 unique terms, many of which group under: adult segment; organ system subdivision; adult mesothoracic segment; appendage segment; external compound sense organ; antennal segment; wing hair; imaginal precursor; peripheral nervous system; organ system.
It has one annotated transcript and one annotated polypeptide.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of high expression to a trough of very low expression.
Peak expression observed within 06-12 hour embryonic stages.
