Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
There is experimental evidence that it has the molecular function: glutamate-ammonia ligase activity.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: synapse assembly; neurotransmitter receptor metabolic process; glutamate catabolic process.
9 alleles are reported.
No phenotypic data is available.
It has 3 annotated transcripts and 3 annotated polypeptides.
Protein features are: Glutamine synthetase, beta-Grasp; Glutamine synthetase, catalytic domain; Glutamine synthetase/guanido kinase, catalytic domain.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of very high expression to a trough of very low expression.
Peak expression observed within 18-24 hour embryonic stages, at stages throughout the larval period, at stages throughout the pupal period, in stages of adults of both sexes.
