Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
There is experimental evidence that it has the molecular function: sphingolipid delta-4 desaturase activity.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: spermatogenesis.
31 alleles are reported.
The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with: spermatid; testis; spindle; spermatocyte; meiotic cell cycle; aster.
It has one annotated transcript and one annotated polypeptide.
Protein features are: Fatty acid desaturase, type 1; Sphingolipid delta4-desaturase; Sphingolipid delta4-desaturase, N-terminal.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of high expression to a trough of moderate expression.
Peak expression observed at stages throughout embryogenesis, in adult female stages.
