Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
Based on sequence similarity, it is predicted to have molecular function: sequence-specific DNA binding transcription factor activity.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: ocellus photoreceptor cell development; positive regulation of gene expression; compound eye photoreceptor development; ocellus development; embryonic development via the syncytial blastoderm; positive regulation of transcription, DNA-dependent; rhabdomere development; brain segmentation.
40 alleles are reported.
The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with 86 unique terms, many of which group under: organ system subdivision; embryonic/larval neuron; external compound sense organ; abdominal ventral denticle belt; VUM1 neuron; presumptive embryonic/larval nervous system; peripheral nervous system; integumentary plate; VUM2 neuron; commissure; antennal segment.
It has one annotated transcript and one annotated polypeptide.
Protein features are: Homeobox; Homeobox, conserved site; Homeodomain-like; Homeodomain-related.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of moderate expression to a trough of very low expression.
Peak expression observed within 00-18 hour embryonic stages.
