Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
Based on sequence similarity, it is predicted to have molecular function: GTPase activity.
There is experimental evidence for 23 unique biological process terms, many of which group under: cellular component organization or biogenesis; localization; biological regulation; open tracheal system development; membrane organization; organelle organization; gland morphogenesis; response to stress; defense response to bacterium; embryonic development via the syncytial blastoderm; cell fate commitment.
19 alleles are reported.
The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with 17 unique terms, many of which group under: organ system; multicellular structure; organ system subdivision; embryonic/larval hemocoel; external compound sense organ; adult segment; anatomical structure; sense organ; peripheral nervous system; embryonic pericardial cell; non-connected developing system.
It has one annotated transcript and one annotated polypeptide.
Protein features are: Small GTP-binding protein domain; Small GTPase superfamily; Small GTPase superfamily, Rho type.
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 00-12 and 18-24 hour embryonic stages, during early pupal stages.
