Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
Based on sequence similarity, it is predicted to have molecular function: calcium ion binding; actin binding.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: adult somatic muscle development; myofibril assembly; gastrulation involving germ band extension; flight behavior.
30 alleles are reported.
The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with: Z disc; striated muscle thin filament; striated muscle myosin thick filament; myofibril; presumptive embryonic/larval peripheral nervous system; sarcomere; presumptive embryonic/larval central nervous system; blastoderm embryo; indirect flight muscle; muscle cell.
It has one annotated transcript and one annotated polypeptide.
Protein features are: Gelsolin; Gelsolin domain; Leucine-rich repeat; Leucine-rich repeat, typical subtype.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of moderately high expression to a trough of moderate expression.
Peak expression observed within 00-12 hour embryonic stages, in adult female stages.
