Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
There is experimental evidence that it has the molecular function: sequence-specific DNA binding transcription factor activity; protein binding; sequence-specific DNA binding.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: central nervous system development; neuromuscular synaptic transmission; positive regulation of transcription from RNA polymerase II promoter; open tracheal system development.
65 alleles are reported.
The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with 21 unique terms, many of which group under: organ system; organ system subdivision; cephalopharyngeal skeleton; adult segment; non-connected developing system; synapse; multicellular structure; pharyngeal sclerite; portion of tissue; peripheral nervous system.
It has 5 annotated transcripts and 5 annotated polypeptides.
Protein features are: SANT domain, DNA binding.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of high expression to a trough of moderate expression.
Peak expression observed at stages throughout embryogenesis.
