Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
There is experimental evidence that it has the molecular function: aldehyde dehydrogenase (NAD) activity; acetaldehyde dehydrogenase (acetylating) activity.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: response to ethanol; acetaldehyde metabolic process.
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: 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 very high expression to a trough of low expression.
Peak expression observed within 00-06 and 12-24 hour embryonic stages, at stages throughout the larval period, in stages of adults of both sexes.
