Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
Based on sequence similarity, it is predicted to have molecular function: carboxylesterase activity.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: female meiosis chromosome segregation; maintenance of imaginal disc-derived wing hair orientation; establishment of blood-nerve barrier; regulation of tube size, open tracheal system; septate junction assembly.
44 alleles are reported.
The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with 17 unique terms, many of which group under: organ system subdivision; multi-cell-component structure; adult segment; sensillum; eo support cell; plasma membrane part; presumptive embryonic/larval nervous system; adult mesothoracic segment; plasma membrane; SNc.
It has 5 annotated transcripts and 5 annotated polypeptides.
Protein features are: Carboxylesterase type B, conserved site; Carboxylesterase, type B.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of high expression to a trough of low expression.
Peak expression observed within 06-12 hour embryonic stages.
