Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
An electronic pipeline based on InterPro domains suggests that it has the molecular function: RNA binding.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: apposition of dorsal and ventral imaginal disc-derived wing surfaces.
6 alleles are reported.
No phenotypic data is available.
It has one annotated transcript and one annotated polypeptide.
Protein features are: Armadillo-like helical; Armadillo-type fold; CPL; Pumilio RNA-binding repeat.
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 larval stages, in adult female stages.
