Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
There is experimental evidence that it has the molecular function: N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminyl-glycoprotein 4-beta-N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase activity; acetylgalactosaminyltransferase activity.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: N-acetylglucosamine metabolic process; glycolipid biosynthetic process; adult locomotory behavior; sperm individualization; neuromuscular junction development.
11 alleles are reported.
The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with: A1-7 ventral longitudinal muscle 3; NMJ bouton; A1-7 ventral longitudinal muscle 4; embryonic/larval neuromuscular junction.
It has one annotated transcript and one annotated polypeptide.
Protein features are: Galactosyltransferase, metazoa.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of moderately high expression to a trough of low expression.
Peak expression observed within 18-24 hour embryonic stages.
