Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
Based on sequence similarity, it is predicted to have molecular function: protein tyrosine phosphatase activity.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: regulation of meiotic cell cycle; spindle assembly involved in male meiosis; pole cell formation; regulation of syncytial blastoderm mitotic cell cycle; meiotic nuclear envelope disassembly; embryo development; male meiosis; cellularization; spindle assembly involved in female meiosis; spermatogenesis.
17 alleles are reported.
The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with: yolk; trichogen cell; oocyte; spindle; tormogen cell; spermatocyte; oocyte nucleus.
It has one annotated transcript and one annotated polypeptide.
Protein features are: M-phase inducer phosphatase; Rhodanese-like.
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.
