Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
There is experimental evidence that it has the molecular function: endopeptidase activity; cysteine-type endopeptidase activity; protein homodimerization activity.
There is experimental evidence for 19 unique biological process terms, many of which group under: programmed cell death; cell death; system development; protein maturation; biological regulation; gland morphogenesis; sensory organ development; neuron differentiation; gene expression; salivary gland morphogenesis.
67 alleles are reported.
The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with 18 unique terms, many of which group under: organ system; organ system subdivision; external compound sense organ; peripheral nervous system; cell part; embryonic/larval excretory system; imaginal precursor; adult segment; adult; pigment cell; acellular anatomical structure; cell projection.
It has one annotated transcript and one annotated polypeptide.
Protein features are: Caspase, interleukin-1 beta convertase; DEATH-like; Peptidase C14, ICE, catalytic subunit p20; Peptidase C14, ICE, catalytic subunit p20, active site; Peptidase C14, caspase catalytic; Peptidase C14, caspase non-catalytic subunit p10; Peptidase C14, caspase precursor p45; Peptidase C14, caspase precursor p45, core.
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 at stages throughout the pupal period.
