Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
There is experimental evidence that it has the molecular function: death domain binding; protein binding.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: immune response; response to bacterium; humoral immune response; positive regulation of innate immune response; nervous system development; positive regulation of antibacterial peptide biosynthetic process; antimicrobial humoral response; peptidoglycan recognition protein signaling pathway; antibacterial humoral response.
29 alleles are reported.
The phenotype of these alleles is annotated with: embryonic/larval fat body.
It has one annotated transcript and one annotated polypeptide.
Protein features are: DEATH-like; Death.
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 within 06-12 hour embryonic stages, during late larval stages, during early pupal stages.
