Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
There is experimental evidence that it has the molecular function: metalloendopeptidase inhibitor activity.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: tracheal pit formation in open tracheal system; wing disc morphogenesis; phototaxis; delamination; imaginal disc-derived wing expansion; tracheal outgrowth, open tracheal system; cell adhesion; basement membrane organization.
7 alleles are reported.
The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with: dorsal air sac; adult abdomen; embryonic/larval dorsal trunk; wing.
It has one annotated transcript and one annotated polypeptide.
Protein features are: Netrin domain; Proteinase inhibitor I35, tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase; Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-like, OB-fold.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of high expression to a trough of extremely low expression.
Peak expression observed during early pupal stages, in adult male stages.
