Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
Based on sequence similarity, it is predicted to have molecular function: structural constituent of cytoskeleton.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: response to light stimulus; larval behavior; axon guidance; axonogenesis; neurogenesis.
23 alleles are reported.
The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with: rhabdomere; eye; trichogen cell; optic lobe; mesothoracic tergum; tormogen cell; axoneme; lamina.
It has one annotated transcript and one annotated polypeptide.
Protein features are: Beta tubulin; Beta tubulin, autoregulation binding site; Tubulin; Tubulin, C-terminal; Tubulin, conserved site; Tubulin/FtsZ, 2-layer sandwich domain; Tubulin/FtsZ, C-terminal; Tubulin/FtsZ, GTPase domain.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of very high expression to a trough of moderate expression.
Peak expression observed within 06-18 hour embryonic stages, during late larval stages, at stages throughout the pupal period.
