Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
Based on sequence similarity, it is predicted to have molecular function: scavenger receptor activity.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: autophagic cell death; salivary gland cell autophagic cell death.
6 alleles are reported.
No phenotypic data is available.
It has 3 annotated transcripts and 3 annotated polypeptides.
Protein features are: Adhesion molecule CD36; CD36 antigen; Lysosome membrane protein II.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of very high expression to a trough of very low expression.
Peak expression observed within 12-24 hour embryonic stages, at stages throughout the pupal period, in adult male stages.
