Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
Based on sequence similarity, it is predicted to have molecular function: stearoyl-CoA 9-desaturase activity.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: pheromone metabolic process; courtship behavior; cytokinesis; phagocytosis, engulfment.
4 alleles are reported.
The phenotype of these alleles is annotated with: tormogen cell.
It has one annotated transcript and one annotated polypeptide.
Protein features are: Fatty acid desaturase, type 1; Fatty acid desaturase, type 1, C-terminal; Fatty acid desaturase, type 1, core.
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 female stages.
