Intestinal gene expression in different physiological conditions There is not condition-dependent expression data available for this gene.
Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
There is experimental evidence that it has the molecular function: cholesterol binding; glutamate binding.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: regulation of synaptic transmission, glutamatergic; neuromuscular junction development.
11 alleles are reported.
The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with: bouton; type I bouton.
It has one annotated transcript and one annotated polypeptide.
Protein features are: Extracellular ligand-binding receptor; GPCR, family 3; GPCR, family 3, C-terminal; GPCR, family 3, conserved site; GPCR, family 3, metabotropic glutamate receptor; GPCR, family 3, nine cysteines domain.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of low expression to a trough of extremely low expression.
Peak expression observed within 12-24 hour embryonic stages, during early larval stages, at stages throughout the pupal period.
