Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
There is experimental evidence that it has the molecular function: protein binding; microtubule binding.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: chorion-containing eggshell formation; actin filament-based process; actin nucleation; regulation of cytoskeleton organization; pole plasm assembly; pole plasm RNA localization; karyosome formation.
51 alleles are reported.
The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with: karyosome; egg chamber; oocyte nucleus.
It has 8 annotated transcripts and 8 annotated polypeptides.
Protein features are: Actin-binding WH2; KIND; Zinc finger, FYVE/PHD-type; Zinc finger, RING/FYVE/PHD-type.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of moderately high expression to a trough of low expression.
Peak expression observed within 00-06 and 12-24 hour embryonic stages, at stages throughout the pupal period, in adult male stages.
