Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
It is reported to have molecular function: gap junction channel activity.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: morphogenesis of embryonic epithelium; olfactory behavior; foregut morphogenesis.
41 alleles are reported.
The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with 11 unique terms, many of which group under: multicellular structure; anatomical structure; non-connected developing system; organ system; embryonic foregut; embryonic hindgut; portion of tissue; organism subdivision; eo support cell; proventriculus primordium.
It has 3 annotated transcripts and 3 annotated polypeptides.
Protein features are: Innexin.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of very high expression to a trough of moderate expression.
Peak expression observed within 00-18 hour embryonic stages, during early pupal stages.
