Gene details (from Flybase) | It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster. Based on sequence similarity, it is predicted to have molecular function: chitin synthase activity. There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: Malpighian tubule morphogenesis; regulation of tube diameter, open tracheal system; embryonic epithelial tube formation; open tracheal system development; regulation of tube length, open tracheal system; chitin-based embryonic cuticle biosynthetic process; cuticle chitin biosynthetic process. 32 alleles are reported. The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with 17 unique terms, many of which group under: organ system; cuticle; cephalopharyngeal skeleton; portion of tissue; embryonic/larval tracheal system; integumentary system; non-connected developing system; pharyngeal sclerite; tracheal system; Malpighian tubule segment. It has 3 annotated transcripts and 3 annotated polypeptides. Protein features are: Fungal chitin synthase. 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 during early pupal stages. . |
