Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
There is experimental evidence that it has the molecular function: sequence-specific DNA binding.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: histone methylation; axon guidance; histone H3-K4 methylation; germ cell migration.
137 alleles are reported.
The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with 39 unique terms, many of which group under: organ system subdivision; adult segment; organ system; midgut constriction; antennal segment; integumentary plate; primordium; abdominal segment 7; embryonic/larval tracheal system; mouthpart; external compound sense organ; spiracle.
It has 5 annotated transcripts and 5 annotated polypeptides.
Protein features are: FY-rich, C-terminal; FY-rich, C-terminal subgroup; FY-rich, N-terminal; FY-rich, N-terminal subgroup; Methyltransferase, trithorax; Post-SET domain; SET domain; Zinc finger, FYVE/PHD-type; Zinc finger, PHD-finger; Zinc finger, PHD-type; Zinc finger, RING-type; Zinc finger, RING/FYVE/PHD-type; Zinc finger, nuclear hormone receptor-type.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of moderate expression to a trough of low expression.
Peak expression observed at stages throughout embryogenesis, at stages throughout the larval period, at stages throughout the pupal period, in stages of adults of both sexes.
