Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
An electronic pipeline based on InterPro domains suggests that it has the molecular function: cytochrome-c oxidase activity; copper ion binding; electron carrier activity.
It is reported to be involved in the biological process: embryo development; midgut development.
4 alleles are reported.
No phenotypic data is available.
It has 2 annotated transcripts and 2 annotated polypeptides.
Protein features are: Cytochrome C oxidase subunit II, transmembrane domain.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of high expression to a trough of very low expression.
Peak expression observed within 12-24 hour embryonic stages, during early larval stages.
