Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
Based on sequence similarity, it is predicted to have molecular function: ATP-dependent DNA helicase activity.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: innate immune response; Toll signaling pathway; defense response to bacterium; positive regulation of antibacterial peptide biosynthetic process; antimicrobial humoral response.
17 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; DEAD-like helicase; Domain of unknown function DUF3535; Helicase, C-terminal; SNF2-related.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of moderately high expression to a trough of moderate expression.
Peak expression observed within 00-18 hour embryonic stages, during late larval stages, at stages throughout the pupal period.
