Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
An electronic pipeline based on InterPro domains suggests that it has the molecular function: binding; structural molecule activity.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: regulation of lipid storage; phagocytosis, engulfment.
4 alleles are reported.
No phenotypic data is available.
It has 2 annotated transcripts and 2 annotated polypeptides.
Protein features are: Coatomer, WD associated region; Coatomer, alpha subunit; Coatomer, alpha subunit, C-terminal; G-protein beta WD-40 repeat; Tetratricopeptide-like helical; WD40 repeat; WD40 repeat 2; WD40 repeat, conserved site; WD40 repeat, subgroup; WD40 repeat-like-containing domain; WD40-repeat-containing domain; WD40/YVTN repeat-like-containing domain.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of high expression to a trough of moderately high expression.
Peak expression observed within 00-18 hour embryonic stages, during early larval stages, during early pupal stages, in adult female stages.
