Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
Based on sequence similarity, it is predicted to have molecular function: oxidoreductase activity, acting on the aldehyde or oxo group of donors, NAD or NADP as acceptor.
An electronic pipeline based on InterPro domains suggests that it is involved in the biological process: oxidation-reduction process; cellular aldehyde metabolic process.
12 alleles are reported.
The phenotype of these alleles is annotated with: crystal cell.
It has 9 annotated transcripts and 9 annotated polypeptides.
Protein features are: Aldehyde dehydrogenase NAD(P)-dependent; Aldehyde dehydrogenase domain; Aldehyde dehydrogenase, C-terminal; Aldehyde dehydrogenase, N-terminal; Aldehyde dehydrogenase, conserved site; Aldehyde/histidinol dehydrogenase.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of high expression to a trough of moderate expression.
Peak expression observed within 12-24 hour embryonic stages, during early larval stages, during early pupal stages, in adult male stages.
