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; DNA binding.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: negative regulation of synaptic growth at neuromuscular junction; central nervous system development; imaginal disc morphogenesis; muscle organ development.
77 alleles are reported.
The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with: dorsal medial muscle; NMJ bouton; embryonic/larval neuromuscular junction; mesothoracic tergum; wing; lateral oblique dorsal muscle.
It has 10 annotated transcripts and 10 annotated polypeptides.
Protein features are: Nuclear respiratory factor 1, NLS/DNA-binding, dimerisation domain; Nuclear respiratory factor-1, activation binding domain.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of moderately high expression to a trough of low expression.
Peak expression observed within 06-18 hour embryonic stages.
