Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
Based on sequence similarity, it is predicted to have molecular function: transforming growth factor beta receptor binding.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: neuromuscular synaptic transmission; regulation of neurotransmitter secretion; positive regulation of muscle organ development; ovarian follicle cell development; imaginal disc-derived wing vein morphogenesis; imaginal disc-derived wing vein specification; neuromuscular junction development; wing disc pattern formation.
27 alleles are reported.
The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with 47 unique terms, many of which group under: adult segment; organ system subdivision; organ system; thoracic segment; synapse; external compound sense organ; imaginal precursor; integumentary plate; integumentary specialisation; peripheral nervous system.
It has one annotated transcript and one annotated polypeptide.
Protein features are: Transforming growth factor beta, conserved site; Transforming growth factor-beta, C-terminal; Transforming growth factor-beta, N-terminal; Transforming growth factor-beta-related.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of very high expression to a trough of moderate expression.
Peak expression observed within 00-12 hour embryonic stages.
