Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
There is experimental evidence that it has the molecular function: G-protein alpha-subunit binding.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: establishment or maintenance of cell polarity; protein stabilization; gastrulation involving germ band extension; establishment of mitotic spindle localization; asymmetric neuroblast division; asymmetric protein localization; asymmetric cell division.
12 alleles are reported.
The phenotype of these alleles is annotated with: mesothoracic tergum.
It has one annotated transcript and one annotated polypeptide.
Protein features are: Armadillo-type fold; Guanine nucleotide exchange factor, Ric8; Synembryn.
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 00-12 hour embryonic stages, in adult female stages.
