Intestinal gene expression in different physiological conditions There is not condition-dependent expression data available for this gene.
Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
There is experimental evidence that it has the molecular function: phosphatidylcholine:cardiolipin O-linoleoyltransferase activity; transferase activity, transferring acyl groups.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: cardiolipin biosynthetic process; phospholipid metabolic process; cardiolipin metabolic process; mitochondrial membrane organization; sperm individualization.
15 alleles are reported.
The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with: mitochondrial crista; mesothoracic tergum; spermatid cyst; mitochondrion; individualization stage spermatid.
It has 4 annotated transcripts and 4 annotated polypeptides.
Protein features are: Phospholipid/glycerol acyltransferase; Tafazzin.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of high expression to a trough of moderate expression.
Peak expression observed during early pupal stages.
