Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
Based on sequence similarity, it is predicted to have molecular function: protein geranylgeranyltransferase activity.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: embryonic heart tube development; neurogenesis.
9 alleles are reported.
The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with: cardioblast; embryonic pericardial cell.
It has one annotated transcript and one annotated polypeptide.
Protein features are: Prenyltransferase/squalene oxidase; Terpenoid cylases/protein prenyltransferase alpha-alpha toroid.
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 00-12 and 18-24 hour embryonic stages, at stages throughout the larval period, during early pupal stages, in adult female stages.
