Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
It is reported to have molecular function: metal ion binding.
The biological processes in which it is involved are not known.
17 alleles are reported.
The phenotype of these alleles is annotated with: mesothoracic tergum.
It has one annotated transcript and one annotated polypeptide.
Protein features are: Diptera metallothionein, family 5.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of extremely high expression to a trough of low expression.
Peak expression observed within 18-24 hour embryonic stages, at stages throughout the larval period, in adult male stages.
