Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
There is experimental evidence that it has the molecular function: growth factor activity; protein homodimerization activity; Toll binding.
There is experimental evidence for 13 unique biological process terms, many of which group under: defense response; biological regulation; immune response; multi-organism process; anatomical structure development; regulation of biological process; response to stress; defense response to fungus; dorsal/ventral axis specification; cellular component organization or biogenesis; cellular process involved in reproduction.
68 alleles are reported.
The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with: embryonic/first instar larval cuticle; embryonic/larval fat body; embryonic/larval hemocoel; embryonic/larval somatic muscle.
It has 12 annotated transcripts and 12 annotated polypeptides.
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 early pupal stages, in adult female stages.
