Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
Based on sequence similarity, it is predicted to have molecular function: transmembrane receptor activity.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: immune response; cell adhesion; anatomical structure morphogenesis; antibacterial humoral response.
20 alleles are reported.
The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with: leg; antenna; haltere; mesothoracic tergum; wing.
It has one annotated transcript and one annotated polypeptide.
Protein features are: Cysteine-rich flanking region, C-terminal domain; Interleukin-1 receptor, type I/Toll precursor; Leucine-rich repeat; Leucine-rich repeat, typical subtype; Leucine-rich repeat-containing N-terminal; Toll-Interleukin receptor.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of high expression to a trough of low expression.
Peak expression observed within 00-12 hour embryonic stages.
