Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
There is experimental evidence that it has the molecular function: diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase activity.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: wing disc development; regulation of nurse cell apoptosis; oogenesis; negative regulation of lipid storage.
11 alleles are reported.
The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with: salivary gland; egg chamber.
It has 4 annotated transcripts and 4 annotated polypeptides.
Protein features are: Membrane bound O-acyl transferase, MBOAT; Sterol O-acyltransferase, ACAT/DAG/ARE types.
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 06-18 hour embryonic stages.
