Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
There is experimental evidence that it has the molecular function: protein binding.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: nuclear mRNA splicing, via spliceosome; cystoblast division; mRNA splice site selection; regulation of cell growth; alternative nuclear mRNA splicing, via spliceosome; regulation of cell cycle; regulation of alternative nuclear mRNA splicing, via spliceosome; neurogenesis.
16 alleles are reported.
The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with 19 unique terms, many of which group under: organ system; organ system subdivision; adult segment; thoracic segment; external compound sense organ; imaginal precursor; cytoplasmic part; integumentary plate; karyosome; embryonic/larval imaginal precursor; cell cortex part.
It has 10 annotated transcripts and 10 annotated polypeptides.
Protein features are: Nucleotide-binding, alpha-beta plait; Poly-U binding splicing factor, half-pint; RNA recognition motif domain.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of high expression to a trough of moderate expression.
Peak expression observed within 00-12 hour embryonic stages.
