Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
Based on sequence similarity, it is predicted to have molecular function: sequence-specific DNA binding transcription factor activity.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: larval somatic muscle development.
9 alleles are reported.
The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with 23 unique terms, many of which group under: hypodermal muscle of larval abdomen; organ system; A1-7 oblique muscle; larval abdominal segment; A1-7 transverse muscle; organ system subdivision; adult segment; A1-7 ventral oblique muscle 4; A1-7 ventral oblique muscle 1; adult abdominal myoblast; external compound sense organ; antennal segment.
It has one annotated transcript and one annotated polypeptide.
Protein features are: Homeodomain-like; Paired box protein, N-terminal; Winged helix-turn-helix transcription repressor DNA-binding.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of moderate expression to a trough of extremely low expression.
Peak expression observed within 06-12 hour embryonic stages, during early pupal stages.
