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.
Based on sequence similarity, it is predicted to have molecular function: malate dehydrogenase (oxaloacetate-decarboxylating) (NADP+) activity.
An electronic pipeline based on InterPro domains suggests that it is involved in the biological process: oxidation-reduction process; malate metabolic process.
No alleles are reported.
It has 4 annotated transcripts and 4 annotated polypeptides.
Protein features are: Malic enzyme, N-terminal; Malic enzyme, NAD-binding; Malic oxidoreductase; NAD(P)-binding domain.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of high expression to a trough of no expression detected.
Peak expression observed in adult male stages.
This gene is annotated by FlyBase as a dicistronic gene, meaning that some or all of its transcripts encode two or more polypeptide-coding open reading frames (ORFs) , with each ORF assigned to a different gene.
The distribution of RNA-Seq coverage data amongst the different encoded genes cannot be determined.
