Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
An electronic pipeline based on InterPro domains suggests that it has the molecular function: hydrolase activity.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: regulation of mRNA stability; oocyte microtubule cytoskeleton polarization; visual learning; visual behavior; oogenesis; long-term memory; germ cell development; posterior abdomen determination; P granule organization.
118 alleles are reported.
The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with 34 unique terms, many of which group under: embryonic abdomen; organ system; embryonic segment; multicellular structure; female germline cyst; non-connected developing system; cuticle; portion of tissue; abdominal segment 7; eo support cell; blastoderm embryo; cell part; embryonic abdominal segment 4; embryonic thorax; cephalopharyngeal skeleton; karyosome.
It has 2 annotated transcripts and 2 annotated polypeptides.
Protein features are: Esterase, SGNH hydrolase-type; Esterase, SGNH hydrolase-type, subgroup.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of very high expression to a trough of no expression detected.
Peak expression observed within 00-06 hour embryonic stages, in adult female stages.
