Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
Based on sequence similarity, it is predicted to have molecular function: ubiquinol-cytochrome-c reductase activity.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: spermatid development.
11 alleles are reported.
The phenotype of these alleles is annotated with: trichogen cell.
It has one annotated transcript and one annotated polypeptide.
Protein features are: Ubiquinol-cytochrome C reductase, UQCRX/QCR9-like.
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 at stages throughout embryogenesis, at stages throughout the larval period, during late pupal stages, in stages of adults of both sexes.
