Gene details (from Flybase) | It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster. Based on sequence similarity, it is predicted to have molecular function: chitinase activity. Based on sequence similarity, it is predicted to be involved in the biological process: cuticle chitin catabolic process. 4 alleles are reported. The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with: embryonic/larval dorsal trunk; mesothoracic tergum. It has 2 annotated transcripts and 2 annotated polypeptides. Protein features are: Chitinase II; Glycoside hydrolase, chitinase active site; Glycoside hydrolase, family 18, catalytic domain; Glycoside hydrolase, subgroup, catalytic core; Glycoside hydrolase, superfamily. Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of very high expression to a trough of low expression. Peak expression observed during early pupal stages. . |
