Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
It is reported to have molecular function: torso binding.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: torso signaling pathway; terminal region determination; embryonic pattern specification.
30 alleles are reported.
The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with 23 unique terms, many of which group under: multicellular structure; organ system; organ system subdivision; epithelial furrow; spiracle; embryonic segment; integumentary specialisation; embryonic abdomen; abdominal segment 7; mouthpart; abdominal segment 10; sensillum; larval abdominal segment; abdominal ventral denticle belt; cephalopharyngeal skeleton; late extended germ band embryo.
It has 2 annotated transcripts and 2 annotated polypeptides.
Protein features are: Membrane attack complex component/perforin (MACPF) domain.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of moderately high expression to a trough of extremely low expression.
Peak expression observed within 06-12 and 18-24 hour embryonic stages, during early larval stages, at stages throughout the pupal period.
