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.
There is experimental evidence for 18 unique biological process terms, many of which group under: anatomical structure development; biological regulation; open tracheal system development; organ development; localization; regulation of biological process; regulation of developmental process; post-embryonic organ morphogenesis; positive regulation of cell proliferation; cellular component organization or biogenesis; anterior/posterior axis specification.
114 alleles are reported.
The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with 94 unique terms, many of which group under: organ system subdivision; commissure; nervous system; multi-cell-component structure; primordium; external compound sense organ; abdominal lateral pentascolopidial chordotonal organ lch5; larval abdominal segment 5; late extended germ band embryo; adult segment.
It has 3 annotated transcripts and 3 annotated polypeptides.
Protein features are: Ets; Sterile alpha motif homology; Sterile alpha motif-type; Sterile alpha motif/pointed; Winged helix-turn-helix transcription repressor DNA-binding.
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 00-12 hour embryonic stages.
