Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
Its molecular function is unknown.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: regulation of dendrite morphogenesis; dendrite self-avoidance; larval behavior; axon guidance; axonal defasciculation; lateral inhibition; adult locomotory behavior; flight behavior; axon midline choice point recognition.
29 alleles are reported.
The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with 16 unique terms, many of which group under: organ system subdivision; multi-cell-component structure; nervous system; adult segment; commissure; peripheral nervous system; presumptive embryonic/larval nervous system; tract neuropil; external compound sense organ; adult brain.
It has 6 annotated transcripts and 6 annotated polypeptides.
Protein features are: Fibronectin type III domain; Fibronectin, type III; Immunoglobulin I-set; Immunoglobulin V-set; Immunoglobulin subtype; Immunoglobulin subtype 2; Immunoglobulin-like; Immunoglobulin-like fold.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of moderately high expression to a trough of very low expression.
Peak expression observed within 06-24 hour embryonic stages, during early larval stages, at stages throughout the pupal period.
