Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
Based on sequence similarity, it is predicted to have molecular function: G-protein coupled amine receptor activity; serotonin receptor activity.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: male courtship behavior, proboscis-mediated licking; female mating behavior; male mating behavior; courtship behavior; male courtship behavior, orientation prior to leg tapping and wing vibration; male courtship behavior, veined wing vibration.
10 alleles are reported.
The phenotype of these alleles is annotated with: Malpighian tubule.
It has one annotated transcript and one annotated polypeptide.
Protein features are: Dopamine receptor; GPCR, rhodopsin-like superfamily; GPCR, rhodopsin-like, 7TM.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of moderate expression to a trough of extremely low expression.
Peak expression observed within 18-24 hour embryonic stages, during early larval stages.
