Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
There is experimental evidence that it has the molecular function: chromatin binding; methylated histone residue binding.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: gene silencing; regulation of transcription, DNA-dependent; specification of segmental identity, abdomen; neuron remodeling; syncytial blastoderm mitotic cell cycle; neurogenesis.
92 alleles are reported.
The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with 35 unique terms, many of which group under: adult segment; embryonic abdomen; embryonic segment; organ system subdivision; thoracic segment; primordium; late extended germ band embryo; adult abdominal segment; non-connected developing system; embryonic head; abdominal segment 7; presumptive embryonic/larval nervous system; midgut constriction; embryonic abdominal segment 4; larval abdominal segment; antennal segment.
It has one annotated transcript and one annotated polypeptide.
Protein features are: Chromo domain; Chromo domain subgroup; Chromo domain-like; Chromo domain/shadow.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of moderately high expression to a trough of low expression.
Peak expression observed within 00-06 hour embryonic stages.
