Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
Based on sequence similarity, it is predicted to have molecular function: sequence-specific DNA binding transcription factor activity; DNA binding.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: hindgut morphogenesis; Malpighian tubule morphogenesis; midgut development.
14 alleles are reported.
The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with 19 unique terms, many of which group under: organ system; primordium; midgut constriction; non-connected developing system; portion of tissue; somatic cell; extended germ band embryo; hypodermal muscle of larval abdomen; embryonic hindgut; adult specialised Malpighian tubule cell; female germline cyst; circular visceral muscle fiber; organ system subdivision; ectoderm derivative; late extended germ band embryo.
It has one annotated transcript and one annotated polypeptide.
Protein features are: Transcription factor, Brachyury; Transcription factor, T-box; Transcription factor, T-box, conserved site; p53-like transcription factor, DNA-binding.
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 00-06 hour embryonic stages.
