Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
There is experimental evidence that it has the molecular function: phosphatidylcholine transmembrane transporter activity; phosphatidylinositol transporter activity.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: rhodopsin mediated signaling pathway; phototransduction; phosphatidylinositol metabolic process; deactivation of rhodopsin mediated signaling; sensory perception of smell.
48 alleles are reported.
The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with 25 unique terms, many of which group under: external compound sense organ; organ system subdivision; peripheral nervous system; nervous system; adult segment; rhabdomere R7; mouthpart; rhabdomere; cell projection; integumentary plate.
It has 8 annotated transcripts and 8 annotated polypeptides.
Protein features are: DDHD; HAD-like domain; LNS2, Lipin/Ned1/Smp2; Phosphatidylinositol transfer protein; START-like domain.
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 00-06 hour embryonic stages, during late pupal stages, in stages of adults of both sexes.
