Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
There is experimental evidence that it has the molecular function: L-aspartate transmembrane transporter activity; taurine:sodium symporter activity.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: taurine transport.
11 alleles are reported.
No phenotypic data is available.
It has 3 annotated transcripts and 3 annotated polypeptides.
Protein features are: Sodium:dicarboxylate symporter; Sodium:dicarboxylate symporter, conserved site.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of moderately high expression to a trough of extremely low expression.
Peak expression observed during late pupal stages, in adult male stages.
