| Gene details (from Flybase) | It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster. It is reported to have molecular function: sequence-specific DNA binding transcription factor activity. There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: myoblast fusion; muscle fiber development; skeletal muscle tissue development; regulation of gene expression; anterior midgut development; locomotor rhythm; mesoderm development. 64 alleles are reported. The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with 47 unique terms, many of which group under: organ system; adult segment; organ system subdivision; hypodermal muscle of larval abdomen; adult mesothoracic segment; A1-7 transverse muscle; non-connected developing system; primordium; eo support cell; egg. It has 5 annotated transcripts and 5 annotated polypeptides. Protein features are: Holliday junction regulator protein family C-terminal repeat; Transcription factor, MADS-box. 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 06-12 hour embryonic stages. . |
