Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
Based on sequence similarity, it is predicted to have molecular function: ornithine decarboxylase activity.
It is reported to be involved in the biological process: polyamine biosynthetic process.
3 alleles are reported.
No phenotypic data is available.
It has one annotated transcript and one annotated polypeptide.
Protein features are: Alanine racemase/group IV decarboxylase, C-terminal; Orn/DAP/Arg decarboxylase 2, C-terminal; Orn/DAP/Arg decarboxylase 2, N-terminal; Orn/DAP/Arg decarboxylase 2, pyridoxal-phosphate binding site; Ornithine decarboxylase; Ornithine/DAP/Arg decarboxylase.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of moderately high expression to a trough of no expression detected.
Peak expression observed during early larval stages.
