Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
There is experimental evidence that it has the molecular function: sequence-specific DNA binding transcription factor activity; sequence-specific DNA binding.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: torso signaling pathway; terminal region determination; specification of segmental identity, labial segment; ring gland development; axon guidance; regulation of gene expression; regulation of cell size; negative regulation of multicellular organism growth; phagocytosis, engulfment.
86 alleles are reported.
The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with 34 unique terms, many of which group under: organ system; abdominal segment 7; abdominal ventral denticle belt; embryonic segment; thoracic segment; embryonic abdomen; organ system subdivision; larval abdominal segment; multicellular structure; cephalopharyngeal skeleton; external compound sense organ; late extended germ band embryo.
It has one annotated transcript and one annotated polypeptide.
Protein features are: Basic leucine zipper; Basic-leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factor.
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 00-06 hour embryonic stages.
