Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
Based on sequence similarity, it is predicted to have molecular function: sequence-specific DNA binding transcription factor activity; protein homodimerization activity.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: bristle development; endoplasmic reticulum unfolded protein response; wing disc development; lateral inhibition; response to endoplasmic reticulum stress.
12 alleles are reported.
The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with: eye; eye photoreceptor cell; tormogen cell; scutellar bristle; wing; imaginal disc; scutum.
It has one annotated transcript and one annotated polypeptide.
Protein features are: Basic leucine zipper; Basic-leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factor.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of very high expression to a trough of moderately high expression.
Peak expression observed within 06-24 hour embryonic stages, at stages throughout the larval period, at stages throughout the pupal period, in stages of adults of both sexes.
