Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
It is reported to have molecular function: receptor antagonist activity; epidermal growth factor receptor binding.
There is experimental evidence for 11 unique biological process terms, many of which group under: anatomical structure development; organ development; post-embryonic organ morphogenesis; organ morphogenesis; biological regulation; post-embryonic appendage morphogenesis; sensory organ development; regulation of biological process; ommatidial rotation; cell-cell signaling; appendage development.
97 alleles are reported.
The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with 87 unique terms, many of which group under: organ system subdivision; adult segment; external compound sense organ; adult mesothoracic segment; peripheral nervous system; multi-cell-component structure; primordium; abdominal lateral pentascolopidial chordotonal organ lch5; nervous system; egg.
It has one annotated transcript and one annotated polypeptide.
Protein features are: Antagonist of EGFR signalling, Argos.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of moderately high expression to a trough of very low expression.
Peak expression observed within 00-18 hour embryonic stages.
