Gene details (from Flybase) | It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster. It is reported to have molecular function: calcium-dependent cysteine-type endopeptidase activity. There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: dorsal/ventral pattern formation; BMP signaling pathway involved in spinal cord dorsal/ventral patterning; cuticle development; phagocytosis, engulfment. 9 alleles are reported. No phenotypic data is available. It has 3 annotated transcripts and 3 annotated polypeptides. Protein features are: Calcium-binding EF-hand; EF-HAND 2; EF-Hand 1, calcium-binding site; EF-hand-like domain; Peptidase C2, calpain family; Peptidase C2, calpain, catalytic domain; Peptidase C2, calpain, domain III; Peptidase C2, calpain, large subunit, domain III; Peptidase, cysteine peptidase active site. 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 18-24 hour embryonic stages. . |
