Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
There is experimental evidence that it has the molecular function: ecdysteroid hormone receptor activity; protein binding; lipid binding; protein heterodimerization activity; protein homodimerization activity.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: border follicle cell migration; dendrite morphogenesis; neuron development; neuron remodeling; muscle organ development; germ cell development.
22 alleles are reported.
The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with: dendrite; terminal filament; embryonic/larval anterior spiracle; midgut imaginal island; dorsal multidendritic neuron ddaC; imaginal disc.
It has one annotated transcript and one annotated polypeptide.
Protein features are: Nuclear hormone receptor, ligand-binding; Nuclear hormone receptor, ligand-binding, core; Retinoid X receptor; Steroid hormone receptor; Zinc finger, NHR/GATA-type; Zinc finger, nuclear hormone receptor-type.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of high expression to a trough of moderate expression.
Peak expression observed within 00-06 hour embryonic stages, in adult female stages.
