Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
Based on sequence similarity, it is predicted to have molecular function: ATPase activity, coupled to transmembrane movement of substances.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: cellular biogenic amine biosynthetic process; memory; compound eye pigmentation; cGMP transport; male courtship behavior; ommochrome biosynthetic process.
1790 alleles are reported.
The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with 11 unique terms, many of which group under: organ system; organ system subdivision; portion of tissue; external compound sense organ; Malpighian tubule; integumentary plate; nervous system; adult; sensillum; compound cell cluster organ; Malpighian tubule segment; embryonic/larval excretory system; adult cuticle.
It has one annotated transcript and one annotated polypeptide.
Protein features are: ABC transporter, conserved site; ABC transporter-like; ABC-2 type transporter; ATPase, AAA+ type, core; Pigment precursor permease.
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 during late larval stages, at stages throughout the pupal period.
