Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
There is experimental evidence that it has the molecular function: transforming growth factor beta receptor activity, type I.
There is experimental evidence for 15 unique biological process terms, many of which group under: anatomical structure development; biological regulation; cellular process involved in reproduction; multicellular organismal reproductive process; organ development; regulation of response to stimulus; cellular component organization or biogenesis; regulation of developmental process; anterior/posterior axis specification; post-embryonic appendage morphogenesis; maternal determination of anterior/posterior axis, embryo; actin filament-based process; regulation of biological process; regulation of multicellular organismal development; multicellular organism reproduction.
46 alleles are reported.
The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with 35 unique terms, many of which group under: adult segment; organ system subdivision; organ system; adult mesothoracic segment; nervous system; germarium; egg; synapse; external compound sense organ; embryonic/larval tracheal system.
It has 3 annotated transcripts and 3 annotated polypeptides.
Protein features are: Protein kinase, ATP binding site; Protein kinase, catalytic domain; Protein kinase-like domain; Serine/threonine-protein kinase, active site; Serine/threonine-protein kinase-like domain; TGF beta receptor, GS motif; TGF-beta receptor/activin receptor, type I/II.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of high expression to a trough of low expression.
Peak expression observed within 00-12 hour embryonic stages.
