Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
There is experimental evidence that it has the molecular function: actin binding; actin filament binding; microtubule binding.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: female meiosis chromosome segregation; negative regulation of axon extension; axon guidance.
32 alleles are reported.
The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with 12 unique terms, many of which group under: organ system subdivision; organ system; external compound sense organ; adult segment; adult; larval head segment; organelle; actin cytoskeleton; rhabdomere; cell part.
It has 2 annotated transcripts and 2 annotated polypeptides.
Protein features are: Carbohydrate-binding domain family 9-like.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of very high expression to a trough of moderate expression.
Peak expression observed within 00-06 hour embryonic stages.
