Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
There is experimental evidence that it has the molecular function: GTP cyclohydrolase I regulator activity; GTP cyclohydrolase I activity.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: preblastoderm mitotic cell cycle; regulation of GTP cyclohydrolase I activity; cuticle pigmentation; pteridine biosynthetic process; regulation of epithelial cell migration, open tracheal system; embryonic pattern specification; compound eye pigmentation; larval chitin-based cuticle development.
80 alleles are reported.
The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with 11 unique terms, many of which group under: organ system; organ system subdivision; cuticle; extended germ band embryo; multicellular structure; adult segment; adult mesothoracic segment; integumentary system; blastoderm embryo; acellular anatomical structure; somatic cell; sensillum; cephalopharyngeal skeleton; external compound sense organ.
It has 4 annotated transcripts and 4 annotated polypeptides.
Protein features are: GTP cyclohydrolase I; GTP cyclohydrolase I, conserved site; GTP cyclohydrolase I/Nitrile oxidoreductase.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of very high expression to a trough of very low expression.
Peak expression observed during late larval stages, at stages throughout the pupal period.
