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.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: imaginal disc development.
37 alleles are reported.
The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with 15 unique terms, many of which group under: organ system subdivision; adult segment; organ system; thoracic segment; sensillum; appendage segment; imaginal precursor; anterior vertical bristle; salivary gland imaginal ring; organelle; larval abdominal segment; dorsal thoracic disc; spiracle; external compound sense organ.
It has 2 annotated transcripts and 2 annotated polypeptides.
Protein features are: Homeobox; Homeodomain-like; Homeodomain-related; Zinc finger, LIM-type.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of moderate expression to a trough of extremely low expression.
Peak expression observed within 06-18 hour embryonic stages.
