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: zinc ion binding. There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: establishment or maintenance of cell polarity; establishment of imaginal disc-derived wing hair orientation; establishment of ommatidial planar polarity; morphogenesis of a polarized epithelium. 102 alleles are reported. The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with 17 unique terms, many of which group under: adult segment; organ system subdivision; adult mesothoracic segment; thoracic segment; appendage segment; external compound sense organ; organ system; wing hair; compound cell cluster organ; metatarsus; integumentary specialisation; peripheral nervous system. It has 3 annotated transcripts and 3 annotated polypeptides. Protein features are: PET domain; Zinc finger, LIM-type. Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of moderately high expression to a trough of very low expression. Peak expression observed within 06-18 hour embryonic stages, at stages throughout the pupal period. . |
