Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
It is reported to have molecular function: DNA binding; sequence-specific DNA binding transcription factor activity.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: muscle organ development.
17 alleles are reported.
The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with: myoblast; egg; A1-7 dorsal oblique muscle 4; midgut constriction; somatic mesoderm; presumptive embryonic/larval muscle system; abdominal 1 dorsal acute muscle 3; egg chamber; cardioblast; embryonic/larval somatic muscle.
It has 2 annotated transcripts and 2 annotated polypeptides.
Protein features are: Helix-loop-helix DNA-binding; Helix-loop-helix DNA-binding domain; Myogenic basic muscle-specific protein.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of moderate expression to a trough of extremely low expression.
Peak expression observed within 06-18 hour embryonic stages.
