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: sensory organ development; antennal morphogenesis; adult feeding behavior; imaginal disc-derived wing morphogenesis; imaginal disc-derived leg morphogenesis; response to water; male courtship behavior.
37 alleles are reported.
The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with 49 unique terms, many of which group under: organ system subdivision; adult segment; peripheral nervous system; nervous system; gustatory sensory organ; adult mesothoracic segment; external compound sense organ; antennal segment; metathoracic les3 neuron; abdominal 4 ventral sensillum campaniformium vc5; larval abdominal segment 5; mouthpart; abdominal 7 ventral sensillum campaniformium vc5; metathoracic posterior fascicle neuron.
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 low expression to a trough of extremely low expression.
Peak expression observed within 06-24 hour embryonic stages.
