Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
Based on sequence similarity, it is predicted to have molecular function: aspartic-type endopeptidase activity.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: apoptosis; nurse cell apoptosis; autophagic cell death; salivary gland cell autophagic cell death.
8 alleles are reported.
No phenotypic data is available.
It has one annotated transcript and one annotated polypeptide.
Protein features are: Peptidase A1; Peptidase aspartic; Peptidase aspartic, active site; Peptidase aspartic, catalytic; Propeptide, peptidase A1.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of very high expression to a trough of moderately high expression.
Peak expression observed during late larval stages, at stages throughout the pupal period, in adult male stages.
