Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
There is experimental evidence that it has the molecular function: protein binding; nuclear hormone receptor binding; ligand-dependent nuclear receptor binding; protein homodimerization activity; transcription corepressor activity.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: protein stabilization; mitotic cell cycle G2/M transition DNA damage checkpoint; negative regulation of transcription, DNA-dependent; neurogenesis; phagocytosis, engulfment.
3 alleles are reported.
The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with: trichogen cell; mesothoracic tergum.
It has 2 annotated transcripts and 2 annotated polypeptides.
Protein features are: PCI/PINT associated module; Proteasome component (PCI) domain; Tetratricopeptide-like helical; Winged helix-turn-helix transcription repressor DNA-binding.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of moderately high expression to a trough of moderate expression.
Peak expression observed at stages throughout embryogenesis, during late larval stages, during early pupal stages, in adult female stages.
