Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
Based on sequence similarity, it is predicted to have molecular function: sequence-specific DNA binding transcription factor activity.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: negative regulation of synaptic vesicle exocytosis; response to salt stress.
49 alleles are reported.
The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with 13 unique terms, many of which group under: organ system subdivision; organ system; adult segment; peripheral nervous system; embryonic/larval neuron; synapse; integumentary plate; thoracic segment; eo support cell; embryonic/larval anal pad; external compound sense organ.
It has 5 annotated transcripts and 5 annotated polypeptides.
Protein features are: Armadillo-like helical; Cell surface receptor IPT/TIG; Immunoglobulin E-set; Immunoglobulin-like fold; Nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT); Rel homology; p53-like transcription factor, DNA-binding.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of moderately high expression to a trough of low expression.
Peak expression observed at stages throughout embryogenesis, at stages throughout the pupal period.
