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: entrainment of circadian clock; response to red light; ring gland development; compound eye photoreceptor fate commitment; entrainment of circadian clock by photoperiod.
82 alleles are reported.
The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with 30 unique terms, many of which group under: organ system subdivision; external compound sense organ; nervous system; peripheral nervous system; integumentary plate; adult segment; multi-cell-component structure; endocrine system; late extended germ band embryo; primordium.
It has 2 annotated transcripts and 2 annotated polypeptides.
Protein features are: Zinc finger, C2H2; Zinc finger, C2H2-like; Zinc finger, C2H2-type/integrase, DNA-binding.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of low expression to a trough of extremely low expression.
Peak expression observed during late larval stages, at stages throughout the pupal period, in stages of adults of both sexes.
