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: tRNA methyltransferase activity; DNA (cytosine-5-)-methyltransferase activity.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: gene silencing; determination of adult lifespan; tRNA methylation; response to oxidative stress; DNA hypermethylation; telomere maintenance; DNA methylation involved in embryo development; response to heat; DNA methylation.
14 alleles are reported.
The phenotype of these alleles is annotated with: eye disc posterior to the morphogenetic furrow.
It has 2 annotated transcripts and 2 annotated polypeptides.
Protein features are: C-5 cytosine methyltransferase; DNA methylase, C-5 cytosine-specific, active site.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of moderate expression to a trough of very low expression.
Peak expression observed within 00-12 hour embryonic stages.
