Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
Based on sequence similarity, it is predicted to have molecular function: GTPase activity.
There is experimental evidence for 41 unique biological process terms, many of which group under: anatomical structure development; cellular component organization or biogenesis; biological regulation; localization; regulation of multicellular organismal development; actin filament-based process; cell proliferation; cellular process involved in reproduction; open tracheal system development; muscle cell differentiation.
46 alleles are reported.
The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with 87 unique terms, many of which group under: organ system subdivision; adult segment; multi-cell-component structure; embryonic/larval neuron; primordium; peripheral nervous system; hemocyte; female germline cyst; cell projection; late extended germ band embryo.
It has one annotated transcript and one annotated polypeptide.
Protein features are: Small GTP-binding protein domain; Small GTPase superfamily; Small GTPase superfamily, Rho type.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of high expression to a trough of moderately high expression.
Peak expression observed at stages throughout embryogenesis, at stages throughout the larval period, during early pupal stages, in adult female stages.
