Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
Based on sequence similarity, it is predicted to have molecular function: aspartate-tRNA ligase activity.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: growth; neurogenesis.
18 alleles are reported.
The phenotype of these alleles is annotated with: wing.
It has one annotated transcript and one annotated polypeptide.
Protein features are: Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase, class II; Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase, class II (D/K/N); Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase, class II (D/K/N)-like; Aspartyl-tRNA synthetase, class IIb, archea/euk type; Aspartyl/Asparaginyl-tRNA synthetase, class IIb; Nucleic acid binding, OB-fold, tRNA/helicase-type; Nucleic acid-binding, OB-fold; Nucleic acid-binding, OB-fold-like.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of very high expression to a trough of moderately high expression.
Peak expression observed during late larval stages, at stages throughout the pupal period.
