Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
There is experimental evidence that it has the molecular function: protein binding; zinc ion binding.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: neuroblast fate specification; segment polarity determination; Wnt receptor signaling pathway, planar cell polarity pathway.
59 alleles are reported.
The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with 35 unique terms, many of which group under: organ system; abdominal ventral denticle belt; organ system subdivision; adult segment; non-connected developing system; primordium; larval abdominal segment; presumptive embryonic/larval nervous system; spiracle; sensillum.
It has one annotated transcript and one annotated polypeptide.
Protein features are: EF-HAND 2; EF-Hand 1, calcium-binding site.
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 00-12 hour embryonic stages.
