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: somatic muscle development; sensory organ development; stem cell proliferation; imaginal disc-derived wing morphogenesis; imaginal disc-derived leg morphogenesis; cardiac muscle cell development; compound eye morphogenesis.
201 alleles are reported.
The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with 39 unique terms, many of which group under: adult segment; organ system subdivision; adult mesothoracic segment; hypodermal muscle of larval abdomen; external compound sense organ; sensillum; larval abdominal segment; larval thorax; embryonic/larval cardial cell; A1-7 ventral oblique muscle 4; lobula complex; midgut constriction; dorsal thoracic disc.
It has 16 annotated transcripts and 16 annotated polypeptides.
Protein features are: TEA/ATTS; Transcriptional enhancer factor.
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 06-18 hour embryonic stages.
