Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
Based on sequence similarity, it is predicted to have molecular function: aconitate hydratase activity.
An electronic pipeline based on InterPro domains suggests that it is involved in the biological process: tricarboxylic acid cycle.
21 alleles are reported.
No phenotypic data is available.
It has 2 annotated transcripts and 2 annotated polypeptides.
Protein features are: Aconitase A/isopropylmalate dehydratase small subunit, swivel; Aconitase family, 4Fe-4S cluster binding site; Aconitase, mitochondrial-like; Aconitase/3-isopropylmalate dehydratase large subunit, alpha/beta/alpha; Aconitase/3-isopropylmalate dehydratase large subunit, alpha/beta/alpha, subdomain 1/3; Aconitase/3-isopropylmalate dehydratase large subunit, alpha/beta/alpha, subdomain 2; Aconitase/3-isopropylmalate dehydratase, swivel; Aconitase/isopropylmalate dehydratase.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of very high expression to a trough of high expression.
Peak expression observed within 00-06 and 12-24 hour embryonic stages, at stages throughout the larval period, during late pupal stages, in stages of adults of both sexes.
